Sometimes I walk and wish L.A. were some small town in Monterey
I close my eyes and ask the Gods to make those Cadillacs, dusty dogs
I close my eyes and live, I close my eyes and live another daySometimes I think I'll melt away and in the sidewalk cracks I'll stay
And who will notice, who will call, 'cause life won't change much, if at all
I close my eyes and live, I close my eyes and live another dayAnother day, so far from the farms where I grew up
Another day, another day, another day so far from that single pair of eyes
That speak to me of home, not another night aloneAnother day is done, I lay my eyes to rest
There's food, I've got a bed and there's a roof above my headSometimes, I think that everyone really speaks a foreign tongue
Like I say 'X' and you hear 'Y' but I push these thoughts from my mind
And close my eyes and live, I close my eyes and live another dayI close my eyes and live, I close my eyes and live another day
