Live Another Day

Sometimes I walk and wish L.A.
 were some small town in Monteray
 I close my eyes and ask the gods
 to make those cadillacs
 some dusty dogs
 I close my eyes and live
 I close my eyes and live another day
 Sometimes I think I'll melt away
 and in the sidewalk cracks I'll stay
 and who will notice?
 who will call?
 and life won't change much
 if at all
 I close my eyes and live
 I close my eyes and live another day
 another day so far
 from the farms where I grew up
 another day
 another day
 another day so far from that single
 pair of eyes
 that speak to me of home
 not another night alone
 another day is done
 I lay my eyes to rest
 there's food
 I've got a bed
 and there's a roof above my head
 sometimes I think that everyone
 really speaks a foreign tongue
 like I say x and you hear y
 but I push these thoughts from my mind
 and close my eyes and live
 I close my eyes and live another day
 I close my eyes and live
 I close my eyes and live another day
