Wang Chung - To Live And Die In L.a. lyrics

(jack hues) In the heat of the day Every time you go away I have to piece my life together Every time you're away In the heat of the day In the dark of the night Every time i turn the light I feel that god is not in heaven In the dark of the night The dark of the night I wonder why i live alone here I wonder why we spend these nights together Is this the room i'll live my life forever I wonder why in la To live and die in la I wonder why we waste our lives here When we could run away to paradise But i am held in some invisible vice And i can't get away To live and die in la If i let myself go And for where i just don't know I'd maybe hit some cold new river That led out to the sea An unknown sea I'd either swim or i'd drown Or just keep falling down and down I think its that, that makes me quiver Just to keep falling down Down, down, down I wonder why i live alone here I wonder why we spend these nights together Is this the way i'll live my life forever I wonder why in la To live and die in la In every word that you say I feel my freedom slip away I feel the bars come down around me And i can't get away I can't get away I wonder why i live alone here I wonder why we spend these nights together Is this the room i'll live my life forever I wonder why in la To live and die in la I wonder why we waste our lives here When we could run away to paradise But i am held in some invisible vice And i can't get away To live and die in la I can't get away To live and die in la I can't get away To live and die in la I can't get away To live and die in la I can't get away To live and die in la
