ain't life strange; ain't it funny
nothing matters much but love & money
things don't work out the way you reckon
money comes first & the love comes second
cigarettes make the sun come up; whisky makes the sun go down
& in-between you do a lot of standing around
it's all i can do to make it through the day
she wrapped it all in darkness, & i cant find my way& i'm walking down the sidewalks of l.a.
wishing I had worn a jacket and leaves are falling down
i'm just another man with an empty handed heart, in an empty hearted townit started out all right, ended up all wrong
should a done, should a done, but that's my song
now the night is falling hard & fast, all dressed up for the masquerade
& the light of the city stretch as far as the eye can see
look what wonders man has made, look what wonders man has madei'm walking down the sidewalks of L.A.
wishing i had worn a jacket & leaves are falling down
& i'm just another man with an empty handed heart, in an empty hearted town
i'm walking down the sidewalks of L.A.
wishing I had worn a jacket & something more to say
