In the City of Angels tonight

Down off one of those freeways

The breeze ain't movin' nothin',

But the blue hotel light

And the ladies on the corner

Swear they could make it right

And he sits with his head in his hands

She sits listening to the radio

And things--they ain't worked out

Exactly as planned

But then, Southern California

Ain't no place to make a stand...

(CHORUS:)

And she holds on--she holds on

To St. Christopher

And she shines on--and he heads

For the light

And they can't take away the memories

Of Spanish nights...

She had been there forever

And he had been 'somewhere along the way'

They were passionate people

These are desperate times

Desperate measures call for

Passionate crimes

So they stole all the love they could handle

Living underneath the hotel law

And you don't take prisoners

When you live on the run

And this town--it can finish

Anything you've begun...

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:

When you run with the dreamers

The going can get so rough

And sooner or later you find out

That dreams just ain't enough...

And they swore that each time was the last one

You know, two hearts can only take so much...

And you can't live in love songs

But, oh, how they tried

Alone in the darkness

With the whispers and cries

But then...

In the City of the Angels tonight...

Down off one of those freeways

The breeze ain't movin' nothin'

But the blue hotel light...

(CHORUS TWICE)

Listen to her heartbeat...

Listen to her heartbeat...

Listen to her heartbeat...
