I like to stick to walls Observing conversations, lifting them when they fall I am a fire escape My spine is made of iron, my heart pumps out old red paint Save yourself, save yourself, yourself Save yourself, save yourself I see the seasons change All the young faces come and replace the dying ones Sit out on Lexington and Vine All the pimps and prostitutes wave you down at stopping signs Save yourself, save yourself, yourself Save yourself, save yourself Los Angeles, I've been waiting for you To pick yourself up and change The city you've made on this ocean of sand Was founded on liars and self-made men I've watched the dreamers find their legs And I've seen the ones that come get reduced to bones and rags 'Cause I am a fire escape My spine is made of iron, my heart pumps out old red paint Save yourself, save yourself (Save yourself) Save yourself, save yourself
