Heaven or Los Angeles

She moved down to the city of angels Left behind a white picket life Landed on a couch for a couple dollars And prayed to the lord for a shiny life Took a bus down to Culver City Made some new friends on a rooftop garage Wine was free and people so pretty Everyone was actin like they were gifts of god Felt like she might as well have worn camouflage And they said Welcome to the City of addicts and saints Lovers at the gates of Heaven or Los Angeles The keepers of secrets so tell them all your dreams For your Heaven in Los Angeles You'll find all your best friends And then on weekends Meet a new lover Till the sun rises Angels and saints At the pearly gates of Heaven or Los Angeles A small fish in a sea of barbies Bright eyes fade into jaded nights Felt a big hole and filled it with parties Still hopin for a break tonight Maybe someday she'll finally get it right And they said Welcome to the City of addicts and saints Lovers at the gates of Heaven or Los Angeles The keepers of secrets so tell them all your dreams For your Heaven in Los Angeles You'll find all your best friends And then on weekends Meet a new lover Till the sun rises Angels and saints At the pearly gates of Heaven or Los Angeles So write a letter and leave it With something to believe in In this hell for the passionless What brings you on this ride Do you wonder what it's like To be royal tonight Addicts and saints Lovers at the gate of heaven or Los Angeles The keepers of secrets so tell them all your dreams For your heaven in Los Angeles You'll find all your best friends And then on weekend Meet that same lover And you fight for him Angels and saints at the pearly gates of Heaven or Los Angeles Time to believe again Time to believe again
