Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry
I drive on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk though her hills
'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kises me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie
Chorus:
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take to the place I love
Take me all the way
It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry
Chorus
Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away
- Red Hot Chili Peppers, "City of Angels"
Love this song to pieces, only just got around to downloading it. ...hadn't realized what they were actually singing at the end; rather morbid, but still. I like the way it sounds. It reminds me of someone, can't figure out who...maybe they haven't been created yet. Dunno. Someone in a trenchcoat and fingerless gloves, however cliche that happens to be. A man with dark hair and a distant look in his eyes as he looks up at the skyline and runs his fingers along the cracks in the bricks...
Song images, city-skyline gray and muddy-water black...hmm...
