Way down a dark
alleyway and somewhere
in the Golden 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, ah
people disappear
here, ah, ah
People disappear
here, ah, ah
People disappear here
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 evenin' comes
you're not another
hit-and-run
that everybody knows
The people disappear
here, ah, ah
people disappear
here, ah, ah
People disappear
here, ah, ah
People disappear here
Instrumental
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, ah
people disappear
here, ah, ah
People disappear
here, ah, ah
People disappear here
