I wake up on the train tracks
Waiting for the shaking to pass
The cafés and a discotheque
Underneath the underpass
♪
The lady at the front door says
"You don't even owe me a laugh"
"Sweetheart" she whispers, as she's kissing me
"Nights like this can never last"
"Don't talk that way", the people say
Maybe I should go back to L.A.
Do you wanna go easy on me?
Go easy on me
The joke is on you, I'm not trying to leave
There's violence in a dream like this
It's bloody in the bathroom stalls
And I'd like to say this is true love
Whatever this obsession is called
"Don't talk that way", the people say
Maybe I should go back to L.A.
Do you wanna go easy on me?
Go easy on me
The joke is on you, I'm not trying to leave
♪
You asked me how I'm feeling
I'll tell you what the doctor said
She said, "Tease out the truth
When it burns so hot, it's better not to give it gas
Or feel free"
But take your time, this city's fine
Pay what you want for this bottle of wine
Do you wanna go easy on me?
Go easy on me
The joke is on you, I'm not trying to leave
Do you wanna go easy on me?
Go easy on me
The joke is on you, I'm not trying to leave
The joke is on you, I'm not trying to leave
The joke is on you, I'm not trying to leave
