L.A. light never shine quite as bright as in the movies
Still wanna go? 'Cause something here in the way
In the way that we're constantly moving
Reminds you of home

So your takin' these pills for to fill up your soul
And you're drinkin' 'em down with cheap alcohol
And I'd be inclined to be yours for the takin'
And part of this terrible mess that you're making with me
I'm the catalyst

When you say love is a simple chemical reaction
Can't say I agree
'Cause my chemical left me a beautiful disaster
Still loves all I see

So I'm takin' these pills for to fill up my soul
And I'm drinkin' 'em down with cheap alcohol
And you'd be inclined to be mine for the taking
And part of this terrible mess that I'm making
But you, you're the catalyst

And you'll be the thing
You'll be the pain
You'll be the star
You'll be the road
Rollin' below the wheels of a car

And all of your thoughts are
God, don't know if I'm strong enough now
You'll be the thing
You'll be the pain
You'll be the catalyst

These L.A. lights, no, no
They don't shine quite as bright
As back in 'Frisco
Do you wanna go? Still wanna go?
