L.A. lights never shine quite as bright as in the movies
You still wanna go
'Cause something here in the way
In the way that we're constantly moving reminds you of home

So you're taking these pills for to fill up your soul
And you're drinking 'em down with cheap alcohol
And I'd be inclined to be yours for the taking
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
Yeah
Yeah
Left me a beautiful disaster
Still love's all I see

So I'm taking these pills for to fill up my soul
And I'm drinking '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

You'll be the thing
You'll be the pain
You'll be the star

You'll be the road rolling below the wheels of a car
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
