L.A. WOMAN

Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
took a look around see which way the wind blow,
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows.
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light?
Or just another lost angel.
City of night, city of night,
city of night, city of night.

L.A. woman, L.A. woman,
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon,
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon,
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon
drive thru your suburbs
into your blues, into your blues,
into your blue, blue, blues,
into your blues.

I see your hair burning
hills are filled with fire;
If they say I never loved you
you know they are a liar.
Drivin' down your freeway
Midnight alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman so alone,
So alone, so alone, so alone

Motel, money, murder, madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness.

Mr. Mojo Risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin'
Got to keep on risin'

(Repeat first verse)

L.A. Woman, L.A. Woman,
You're my woman, L.A. Woman.

Mojo: Let’s just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That’s all it was, just curiosity.

THE END.

This is the end, beautiful friend.
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elabourate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end.
I'll never look into your eyes again.

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free,
Desp'rately in need of some stranger's hand
In a desp'rate land.

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain,
And all the children are insane;
All the children are insane;
Waiting for the summer rain.
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the king's highway.
Weird scenes inside the gold mine;
Ride the king's highway west, baby.
Ride the snake, to the lake
The ancient lake, the snake is long
Seven miles, ride the snake
He's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best,
The west is the best
Get here and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is calling us
Driver where you taking us?

The killer awoke before dawn,
He put his boots on,
He took a face from the ancient gallery
and he walked on down the hall.

He went into the room where his sister lived,
And then he paid a visit to his brother
And then he walked on down the hall.

And he came to a door,
And he looked inside,
"Father?"
"Yes, son?"
"I want to kill you."
"Mother, I want to...."

Come on, baby take a chance with us,
And meet me at the back of the blue bus.

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
but you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies,
The end of nights we tried to die.
This is the end.
