Letter To L.a. Lyrics - Ely Joe

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?
