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
