you wander the streets
as you search for your needs
and you order your friends
from the world wide web

you shuffle your feet
as you walk on the seeds
that the founders of fortune
left to grow

you humble in silence
when beauty and violence
go hand in hand
in the promised land

city of angels
city of l___
city of promises
and broken trust
(2x)

you read all sorts of magazines
bible and all that seems
a story worth reading
a case worth pleading

sometimes it's hard to tell
sometimes it's hard to sell
that to believe in what you do
is the highest virtue

city of angels
city of l___
city of promises
and broken trust
(2x)

oh city turn on your lights
oh turn on your lights
I'm slowly
I'm slowly
I'm slowly
giving up

oh city of angels
city of l___
city of promises
and broken trust
(3x)

oh city
come bring me here
