    I was shooting in the back of the car

    When the windows smashed on the police cars

    I was swimming through the streets of New York

    With my cocaine dagger and throats to cut

    And it was making her cry...

    But it was making me high



    She was a hooker at the age of sixteen

    All she wanted was the money, she didn''t need an I.D.

    She was a junkie, and I know it''s cliche

    But then so was her life, I mean, she lived in L.A.

    And it was making her cry...

    But it was making her high



    And it was making her cry...

    And it was making her high



    Riot in my skull

    The demons are coming

    Los Angeles is dead

    These drugs ain''t working

    Painted it all black

    The chains are jerking

    Los Angeles is dead

    The drugs ain''t working

    Riot in my skull

    The demons are coming

    Los Angeles is dead

    The drugs ain''t working

    Los Angeles is dead

    The drugs ain''t working

    Los Angeles is dead
