Lyrics

[00:19.78] L.A., who'da thought
[00:22.12] Right smack dab in the middle of what
[00:24.17] With the belching buses and the broken bones
[00:26.16] Said, a Devil, pour me another shota
[00:28.35] Hey, hey, L.A.
[00:30.30] Who'da thought, who'da thought, who'da thought
[00:45.89] L.A., after closing when it's down to me
[00:48.63] And the same old souls
[00:50.12] Well, Johnny's all right if you buy him a gin
[00:52.22] He'll tell you his stories about Errol Flynn
[00:54.26] He even danced with Marilyn
[00:56.00] That's what they say
[00:59.40] Devil, pour me another shot
[01:01.36] Hey, hey, L.A.
[01:03.35] Who'da thought, who'da thought
[01:07.43] I woulda never thought
[01:12.71] Up through the cracks
[01:14.46] Up through the broken glass
[01:16.55] In the hot red light of a black and white
[01:18.70] Roses grow
[01:20.99] Up through the cracks
[01:23.22] Up through the broken glass
[01:25.27] In the hot red light of a black and white
[01:27.26] Roses grow, roses grow
[01:32.19] Roses grow, roses grow
[01:44.79] You know Roxy was is in tonight
[01:47.03] She's styling around in her fishnet tights
[01:49.28] And she's got more life at 65
[01:51.57] Than the teenage boys she keeps up all night
[01:53.66] She said heavy metal and the young hard cock
[01:55.85] What, can't you handle that kind of talk?
[01:58.20] The strippers here, they really rock
[02:00.29] Devil, pour me another shot
[02:02.13] Hey, hey, L.A.
[02:04.13] Who'da thought, who'da thought
[02:08.56] I never woulda thought, never woulda thought
[02:13.46] Up through the cracks
[02:15.50] Up through the broken glass
[02:17.55] In the hot red light of a black and white
[02:19.64] Roses grow
[02:22.03] Up through the cracks
[02:24.32] Up through the broken glass
[02:26.32] In the hot red light of a black and white
[02:28.26] Roses grow
[02:30.80] Roses grow, roses grow
[02:33.44] Roses grow, roses grow
[02:37.88] Roses grow, roses grow
[02:42.16] Roses grow, roses grow say
