lyrics

CLOUDY IN L.A.


Well it’s cloudy in LA
And it’s warm when it rains
In the desert, on the mountains, by the Oceanside
And I’m alone, in a hotel room
No one to cry to, and my head’s so cloudy too
Not sure just what I should do

Don’t you think that I’ve tried
Out here you’d think no one they would mind

And you’re still mine
If you still believe that lie
Way on the other side of five state lines
Seems like some other place in time
I know what you think
You think I’m out here on the street
You think I’m acting crazy, think I must be some sight to see
Cause you know I’m out here for me

But nobody cares how hard I’m trying
Won’t be surprised if they don’t pay me no mind

God only knows I used to want some simple life
All I ever wanted was my own little piece of the sky
Content with you in my life
But this world has robbed me of those earthly desires
And nothing on that world could ever put out this fire
But it’s still so hard to defy

But you know that I’ll keep on trying
Won’t be surprised if it’s no different this time


Well it’s cloudy in LA
And it’s warm when it rains
In the desert, on the mountains, by the Oceanside
