He told all his friends he was gonna move out to LABurn bridges, all of them, he was gonna move out to CaliNow he's living in the sunAnd the stars at night, under 'emUnderneath the underpass at Melrose and the 101That's just the way it goesIt's not the city of angels, it's the city of ghostsThat's just the way it goesSo now he's living out here in Los AngelesAs for his addiction, he said he could always handle itHollywood all weekend, on Monday back downtownThought he'd be famous, now in madness he walks aroundThat's just the way it goesIt's not the city of angels, it's the city of ghostsThat's just the way it goesIt's Babylon, it's paradise, it's the promised landIt's Halcyon, it's silicon, it's meth, cocaine and heroinIt's Starbucks and it's all looks, it's real life TVIt's rusty scalpels and dirty needles, it's surgery cityNow he talks to himself alone out on skid rowLook around, there's no one else, he's laughing with the ghost of Marylin MonroeThe valley suit is shining on a smog alert hazy dayThe last time that I saw him he was down and out, down and out in LAThat's just the way it goesIt's not the city of angels, it's the city of ghostsThat's just the way it goes
