Mid-City

i'm hoping you get better, dear
 cuz even east LA is west of here.
 i should have left you sooner
 but there would have been no fear
 to deny, when the time was right.
 tell me what you want from me
 and i can sell you what i used to need.
 wonder how your health will fade
 and pull you in to ask if you still feel
 courageous.
 it's pride that makes you fake shit,
 call me if you make it.
 if there's a bar then lower it, dear
 cuz even east LA is west of here,
 i should have left you sooner
 but there would have been no fear
 to deny, when the time was right.
 tell me what you want from me
 and i can sell you what i used to need.
 wonder how your health will fade
 and pull me in to ask if i still feel
 courageous.
 i'm almost out of space here,
 cannot tell the girls from the wait staff.
