Well, I shook hands with the devil Down on the south side And he bought us both a drink With a pad and a pencil sat by his side I said, "Tell me what you think"
I´ve been looking for my savior, looking for my truth I even asked my shrink He brought me down to his level Said, "Son, you´re not special You won´t find him where you think"
You won´t find him down on Sunset Or at a party in the hills At the bottom of the bottle Or when you´re tripping on some pills When they sold you the dream you were just 16 Packed a bag and ran away And it´s a crying shame you came all this way ´Cause you won´t find Jesus in LA And it´s a crying shame you came all this way ´Cause you won´t find Jesus in LA
Took a sip of his whiskey Said, "Now that you´re with me Well, I think that you should stay" Yeah, I know you´ve been busy Searching through the city So let me share the way
I know I´m not your savior Know I´m not your truth But I think we could be friends He said "Come down to my level Hang out with the devil Let me tell you, in the end...
You won´t find him down on sunset Or at a party in the hills At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you´re tripping on some pills When they sold you the dream you were just 16 Packed a bag and ran away And it´s a crying shame you came all this way ´Cause you won´t find Jesus in LA And it´s a crying shame you came all this way ´Cause you won´t find Jesus in LA"
And that is when I knew that it was time to go home And that is when I realized that I was alone And all the vibrant colors from the lights fade away And I don´t care what they say
You won´t find him down on sunset Or at a party in the hills At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you´re tripping on some pills When they sold you the dream you were just 16 Packed a bag and ran away And it´s a crying shame you came all this way ´Cause you won´t find Jesus in LA I won´t find him down on sunset Or at a party in the hills At the bottom of the bottle Or when I´m tripping on some pills When they sold me the dream I was just 16 Packed my bag and ran away And it´s a crying shame I came all this way ´Cause I won´t find Jesus in LA And it´s a crying shame I came all this way ´Cause I won´t find Jesus in LA
