Letter to La Lyrics


You're afraid to lose your cover
Afraid to bare your soul
Like an Alfred Hitchcock lover
Who slowly goes out of controlYour love is like the city
Only shines at night
Your love has no pity
Baby, baby, that's all rightYour vanity is your castle
You're like a neon sign
And the poor lost souls in your shadows
You forget, they are friends of mineYour love is like the city
Only shines at night
Your love has no pity
Baby, baby, that's all rightLittle Johnny Vain lost his head
While you broke a young girl's heart
And Cecil B. DeMille once gave to you
The 'Cast of Millions' partYour love is like the city
Only shines at night
Your love has no pity

Baby, baby, that's all rightHow many memories have you, honey
Swept beneath the bed?
And how many roses have you, honey
Watered till they bled?

He knew everything about it. And Butch was from the folk world. I was kinda the rock & roll guy, and we almost had a triad. We hit it off and started playing a lot together.
