I saw an angel in the alleyway Eyes on the pearly gates Spreading his golden wings
I asked him, ‘Where are you going man?’ He looked at me and he said, ‘I’m leaving Los Angeles.’
‘I’ve seen too much of this city, yeah There ain’t no salvation here The demon is everywhere…’
‘You better get down on your knees and pray The hour is getting late These are the final days…’
‘These are the days of war and peace Of night and day of sin and saint. These are the times for wrong and right You cannot live unless you die’
I saw a devil in his limousine Eating up fine cuisine Getting old and obscene
I asked him, ‘Where are you going man?’ He said, ‘I can take you there, If you sell your soul to me.’
He took me up to the Hollywood hills And then he showed me all kinds of thrills The burning fire that is built by desire And the flames keep growing higher and higher
‘These are the days of war and peace Of night and day of sin and saint. These are the times for wrong and right You cannot live unless you die’
‘These are the days these are the times You cannot laugh unless you cry ‘These are the days these are the times You cannot live unless you die’
