In the Shadow of the Valley
I gave up my cynicism, I gave up my hard shellI gave up everything that would cause you the least painI'm immodest as a child old before it's timeWhy should I hide something I've no chance to see?My nights are all sleepless so all through my dayI took the next shade of weariness down to L.A.I'm off like a shotgun out of your reachMy self-importance, my mind-numbing hazeNo, I don't want to know about my lifeI don't want to know what I'm thinking or feelingIgnorance is bliss but babe, we won't stay that wayWe'll escape heaven somehow down in L.A.I can make your future easier to predictI'm hot as a devil and cold as an addictPeople usually just make me tiredThe plague of always deserving something betterGod save me from the rewards I deserveLetras de cancionesOne for giving up hope and the one for the love that I serveIf I opened my heart then you'd be washed awayDown the bone-dry rivers that drain L.A.My nights are all sleepless and all through my dayI like to take shades of weariness all through L.A.
