lyrics

CITY OF ANGELS

Well your mama died young and your daddy was hung
For a crime he didn’t commit I guess your face don’t fit
In the scheme of things that’s the way it is in the City of Angels
You were only nine I think at the time
I guess you remember the day took your father away
And the night it was cold and dark and your sister was screaming
Well she left at sixteen a face like a queen
working to make ends meet out on the street
Begging and stealing sell her body for money
Ever since the day you pay your own way
Living in the gutter thats your bread and butter
Its a fight to survive staying alive in the City of Angels

In the City of angels no cry no tears for Jose now
In the City of angels no cry no tears for Jose now

So stay at arms reach and keep off the beach
No dirty beggars hand gonna soil the golden sand
the lights burn bright all through the night in the hotel bars
Sweep the streets clean at night the police are mean
They shoot to kill its a bitter pill
For a ragged child living wild in the city of angels
Where fabulously rich and obscenely poor
Live in shanty towns and hotels by the shore
A million children living on their wits in the streets of no shame
Drugs and money your life is cheap
Its hard enough to make a blind man weep
And all for the price of Tequila and ice for you and for me Ah for me

In the City of angels no cry no tears for Jose now
In the City of angels no cry no tears for Jose now
