Way down a dark alleyway And somewhere in the Garden State A girl from California waits She has my name but not my face And I, tried to let her be someone Hoping when the morning comes She's not another hit and run that everybody knows The people disappear here, ah People disappear here, ah People disappear here, ah People disappear here, ah So let's say for goodness sake That she cleans it up and finds her way But a child can't affect her fate And you pay, and you pay, and you pay And now, maybe if you see someone Hoping when the evening comes You're not another hit and run that everybody knows The people disappear here, ah People disappear here, ah People disappear here, ah People disappear here, ah I hurt myself to make sure I exist I pinch myself to make sure that I'm real I hurt myself to make sure I exist I need someone to tell me how I feel 'Cause people disappear here, ah People disappear here, ah People disappear here, ah (People disappear here People disappear here People disappear here People disappear here People disappear here)
