[Verse 1]
The road is alive
And everybody's all here
I'm closing my eyes
Till the colours appear
Oh me oh my
Ain't it funny up here
To stand in the light
Said I ain't came to Los Angeles just to die

[Chorus]
Are you getting a lot of attention now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are you bleeding in every direction now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are they covering you up with affection now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are they giving you a lot of attention now (ahh-ahh-ahh)

[Verse 2]
They told me my eyes
Would never be clearer
To hold on to mine
Make good money out here
They told me those lies
Just a grinning from ear to ear
They showed me a lie
They said "here is our offer, ain't it fine"
[Chorus]
Are you getting a lot of attention now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are you bleeding in every direction now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are they covering you up with affection now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are you getting a lot of attention now (ahh-ahh-ahh)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
The road is alive
With the trouble and fear
Frozen and blind
That's how they couple out here
And oh me oh my
They call me coloured up here
I looked in their eyes
Said I ain't came to Los Angeles, baby, just to die

[Chorus]
Are you getting a lot of attention now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are you bleeding in every direction ain't you now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are they covering you up with affection ain't they now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are you getting a lot of attention ain't you now (ahh-ahh-ahh)
