The moment you arrived, they built you up
The sun was in your eyes
You couldn't believe it, riches all around
You're walking, stars are on the ground
you start to believe it

Every face along the boulevard
is a dreamer just like you
You looked at death in a tarot card
and you saw what you had to do

But nobody knows you now
when you're dying in La
And nobody knows you now
when you're dying in L.A
When you're dying in L.A
when you're dying in L.A
The power, the power, the power of L.A

Nights at the chateau
trapped in your sunset bungalow
You couldn't escape it, drink of paradise
They told you put your blood on ice
you're not gonna make it
