Backslide

Los Angeles take your dreams away
Burnin´ on the ground
At the end of the day it´s your life, your loss
And you can´t turn the clock around
I said: Oh my god, you can have her for that,
but you better not miss a shot
You´re letting yourself get into all kinds of danger
Soon enough you´re gonna get caught
They had a feeling.
It was like you had to prove you´re one in a million
And on top of that junk he´s been dealing
This time the drugs are you
And they´ll come through
It ain´t gonna stop ´til they get what they want
And I say
Nobody knows me, I´m all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
It´s a Hollywood bus stop and the party´s over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
John couldn´t flag his homeboy down so he waited for a ride
Then waited to confide in Hollywood´s concert backslide
With affordable lives and a sunroof, nestled among the filth
Infrequencies and bad intentions, gotta take it for what it´s worth
They had a feeling.
It was like you had to prove you´re one in a million
And on top of that junk he´s been dealing
This time the drugs are you
And they´ll come through
It ain´t gonna stop ´til they get what they want
And I say
Nobody knows me, I´m all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
It´s a Hollywood bus stop and the party´s over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
Have you ever been haunted by your past
And it will never let you go
Well never never let you go
No! I said
Well never never let you go
And I say
Nobody knows me, I´m all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
It´s a Hollywood bus stop and the party´s over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
Burnin´ on the ground
At the end of the day it´s your life, your loss
And you can´t turn the clock around
I said: Oh my god, you can have her for that,
but you better not miss a shot
You´re letting yourself get into all kinds of danger
Soon enough you´re gonna get caught
They had a feeling.
It was like you had to prove you´re one in a million
And on top of that junk he´s been dealing
This time the drugs are you
And they´ll come through
It ain´t gonna stop ´til they get what they want
And I say
Nobody knows me, I´m all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
It´s a Hollywood bus stop and the party´s over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
John couldn´t flag his homeboy down so he waited for a ride
