Well, you moved to la first time under the law

Yeah, your head jumped fun so you thought it's time to move on

But the pretty girls from the underworld made it easier said than done

Yeah, soon enough you were hanging out, you were back where you'd begun

But maybe it's alright now.

Well, it rained three days so the street began to flood

Everyone took off, they said they had enough

Since 26, since 40 licks, you been moving through the fog

Yeah, you never said what you really meant, did you think that it would stop?

But maybe it's alright now

Baby, it's alright now.

By the pinball lights, you got petrified

Your glass in hand, you're staring at the walls

You could try to change, but you just stay strange

And drink away the emptiness, paranoid, the s.a.s

Will end the game by kicking in your door.

By the pinball lights, you got petrified

Your glass in hand, just staring at the walls

Yeah, you just stay strange, and you call her name

Well, sonny, she can't hear you anymore

Sonny, she can't hear you anymore.

When the lights go down on broadway

I could still hear all the things you used to say

From out my window

Watch the fires burn down the road

At times, I wonder if you're listening, now I know

At times, I wonder if you hear me, now I know.
