The sun arrives And from inside The angles change every few days They rise and shift The shadows lift And cover all the buildings in new shapes And from the inside I've been watching the change Counting off the days in between Only this time It's increasingly strange Of all the other places I've been Los Angeles you treat me well From far away it's hard to tell when it ends It's not the life that I'd intend Some strangers always catch my eye Still photos when you're killing time with your friends I wonder how my life might end ♪ As best they can Your best laid plans They'll likely fall apart in a few days The sporting life The sorted time The way that you could feel a new weight And from the inside I've been watching the change Counting off the days in between Only this time It's increasingly strange Of all the other places I've been Los Angeles you treat me well From far away it's hard to tell when it ends It's not the life that I'd intend Some strangers always catch my eye Still photos when you're killing time with your friends I wonder how my life might end
