Liza Forever Minnelli

There's the part you've braced yourself against and
 then there's the other part
 Steal up incling northward streets with some weird sickness in the dark
 Saw your name on the sidewalk, saw your brave face in my mind
 If you're gonna sit next to the dealer you get to bet blind
 Never get away, never get away,
 I am never ever gonna get away from this place
 Laid out on the street my eyes toward the sun your star next to my face
 The compasses I came into this world with never really worked so good
 Gentle shadows spilling down the hills up on Mulhollad at Ledgewood
 Turn back turn back, find someone to tell your secrets to
 Dream past an old hotel on Ivy and seconds later I saw you
 Never get away, never get away,
 I am never ever gonna get away from this place
 Laid out on the street my eyes toward the sun your star next to my face
 Let the camera track me from the footlights to the wings
 Let me set aside an hour or two in memory of sweet things
 Regrind the lens again and again and again and again,
 but still the picture flips
 Anyone here mentions Hotel California dies before the
 first line clears his lips
 Never get away, never get away,
 I am never ever gonna get away from this place
 Laid out on the street my eyes toward the sun your star next to my face
