[Verse 1]

L.A. lights

Never shine quite as bright as in the movies

Still wanna go?

'Cause something here

In the way, in the way that we're constantly moving

Reminds you of home

[Chorus]

So you're taking these pills for to fill up your soul

And you're drinking them down with cheap alcohol

And I'd be inclined to be yours for the taking

And part of this terrible mess that you're making

But me, I'm the catalyst

[Verse 2]

When you say love

Is a simple chemical reaction

Can't say I agree

'Cause my chemical, yeah

Left me a beautiful disaster

Still love's all I see

[Chorus]

So I'm taking these pills for to fill up my soul

And I'm drinking them down with cheap alcohol

And you'd be inclined to be mine for the taking

And part of this terrible mess that I'm making

But you, you're the catalyst

[Bridge]

You'll be the vein, you'll be the pain

You'll be the scar

You'll be the road, rolling below

The wheels of a car

[Chorus 2]

And all of your thoughts are

God, don't know if I'm strong enough now

You'll be the vein, you'll be the pain

You'll be the catalyst

[Outro]

These L.A. lights, no no

They don't shine quite as bright as back in Frisco

Do you wanna go?

Still wanna go
