In LA there are no shadows There are no shadows in LA Our memory's written backwards Getting shorter every day Here in a city that doesn't talk back Sing for the future run from the past Oh the water's rising fast We followed the sunlight as far as we could We're looking for heaven we found Hollywood Where nobody's selfish they're all just misunderstood Well it's still so hard to tell you Oh telling you is so hard We're as empty as the sidewalks On Venice Boulevard Oh I heard the angels singing That Spanish siren song Her flowers bloom in winter If you survive the fall Here in a city that doesn't talk back Sing for the future run from the past Oh the fires fading fast We followed the sunlight as far as we could We're looking for heaven we found Hollywood Where nobody's selfish they're all just misunderstood And we tried to concentrate But the warmth of the windshield made it hard to stay awake We followed the sunlight as far as we could We're looking for heaven we found Hollywood And the Japanese maple that watched patiently As we lost our voices as it lost its leaves And we followed the sunlight as far as we could And I'm sorry the sun didn't set where it should But nobody's selfish here We're all just misunderstood Ooh Ooh
