Ely Joe - Letter to LA Lyrics

You're afraid to lose your cover

Afraid to bare your soul

Like an Alfred Hitchcock lover

Who slowly goes out of control



Your love is like the city

Only shines at night

Your love has no pity

Baby baby that's all right



Your vanity is your castle

You're like a neon sign

And the poor lost souls in your shadows

You forget, they are friends of mine.



Your love is like the city

Only shines at night

Your love has no pity

Baby baby that's all right



Little Johnny Vain lost his head

While you broke a young girls heart.

And Cecil D. Demille once gave to you

The 'Cast of Millions' part.



Your love is like the city

Only shines at night

Your love has no pity

Baby baby that's all right



How many memories have you, honey,

Swept beneath the bed?

And how many roses have you, honey,

Watered till they bled?
