City of Angels - NEANDERTHAL

It’s hard havin' a heart in the city

Look at the stars, waitin' for someone

To tell you you’re pretty, you’re enough

So it goes, I don’t know what the feeling’s like

To be comfortable with a stranger in your skin

Don’t know why you let them in

We used to talk about the fakers in L. A

But now you’re one of 'em and damn it hurts to say

I should’ve seen it comin' from a mile away, a mile away

You always wanted to take before you give, but what’s the fun of it?

I don’t know how you live with yourself in your Hollywood house in the hills

Gives me chills, city of angels

Used to say, if you ever made it, I’d be the first call

And life would stay fairly the same

Oh, our friendship wouldn’t change at all

But you busted, haven’t talked in a year

I mistrusted, now it’s all comin' clear that you only think of yourself

May be loved, but you’re lonely as hell, oh

We used to talk about the fakers in L. A

But now you’re one of 'em, I guess you got your way

I bet you’re tired of all the games you had to play, you had to play

You always wanted to take before you give, but what’s the fun of it?

I don’t know how you live with yourself in your Hollywood house in the hills

Gives me chills, city of angels

That’s what they call us, right?

Wish you were able

To see there’s so much more to life

Than fortune and fame, validation and pain

When you always want more

There’s nothing to gain

We used to talk about the fakers in L. A

But now you’re one of 'em and damn it hurts to say

Damn it hurts to say

You always wanted to take before you give, but what’s the fun of it?

I don’t know how you live with yourself in your Hollywood house in the hills

Gives me chills, city of angels

That’s what they call us, right?

Wish you were able

To see there’s so much more to life

City of angels

That’s what they call us, right?
