This city is where my heart is
And like the city I never sleep
Somewhere in the darkness, we got lost much too deep

Chorus:
Cause you laugh when it's fun, and you cry when it's done
When you're young in la
Everybody's dying to meet ya
When you're young in la
Everybody's dying, everybody's dying away

Well everything seems so harmless
I was on my way, clutching on my dream
Story I had disregarded
I disregard it when they turn my flesh into property

Chorus:
Cause you laugh when it's fun, and you cry when it's done
When you're young in la
Everybody's dying to meet ya
When you're young in la
Everybody's dying, everybody's dying away
