I'm all alone in Los Angeles
No, Los Angeles is not my home
I walk around looking for higher meaning
But I'm afraid that I'm deceiving myself, where have I gone wrong
She came from far away
Looking for dreams of sun and starlight shining
Asked it all of a universe, she didn't understand
But that was forty years ago
The dream's not dead but its changed a little
And with a shoulder shrug and a subtle giggle
She says "what's there left to say?"
I'm all alone in Los Angeles
No, Los Angeles is not my home
I walk around looking for higher meaning
But I'm afraid that I'm deceiving myself, where did I go wrong
You said you were born and raised
You came up bathed in sun and the smiles so charming
But you couldn't wait to leave the place you never understood
But we could all read your poker face
You'd say "why the hell'd I ever leave that place?"
And by the time you come back around, they'd all forget your name
And you said you'd get it in in one more shot
If they ever gave you time in the sun
And each way you look, someone else getting booked
And now you're feeling like your coming undone
And just like you said, "Life moves fast, then you're dead"
Still there's no place I'd rather be
Than all Alone in LA
*Instrumental*
I'm all alone in Los Angeles
No, Los Angeles is not my home
I walk around looking for higher meaning
But I'm afraid I'm deceiving myself, where have I gone wrong
