L.A. lady you always look so uninspired When you're hanging around Living with creeps and loving with liars And everybody knows it's true That all you're ever gonna be is entertainment So entertain me You shiver when they wake up And once more before they're gone And even when you're sleeping baby You're barely holding on L.A. lady I know your feet must be so tired From standing on a corner stomping out cigarettes like they were fires The daughter of a thousand men You've got your mothers eyes and whorish skin You're a train wreck But that's entertainment [Chorus:] You shiver when they wake up And once more before they're gone And even when you're sleeping baby you're barely holding on So throw your skin back in your clothes And wipe the blood running from your nose 'cause if the price is right tonight anything goes Too many lines, one too many times You're sharing the same vein With your stage name But it never quite feels the same It never quite feels the same I said, it never quite feels the same [Chorus]
