Fighter jets over my city, uh

Cool car trails in the sky, yeah

It′s breaking news all over TVWe were hit by surprise

Alright

I was at Townhouse down in Venice Beach, oh no

Stealing moments with you know who

We won the war but not a day goes by

That I don't think I shoulda been with you

When the City of Angels fell

When the City of Angels fell

When the City of Angels fell

I was busy letting you down, woman

When the City of Angels fell

When the City of Angels fell

I was nowhere to be found

Alright

Instrumental

A vast shadow cast over my city

Some kinda, unknown ships sittin′ in the sky (Yeah, ooh)

I guess they came here looking for trouble

No time for goodbyes

When the City of Angels fell

When the City of Angels fell

When the City of Angels fell

I was busy letting you down, woman

When the City of Angels fell

When the City of Angels fell

And I was nowhere to be found

No, no, nowhere to be found

Nowhere, honey, oh no

Drinking my favorite tequila (alright)

You know I, saved your last message to my phone, woman

I didn't text you back that night, did I?

It just says, "Baby, when do you think you'll be home?" no, oh no

I stayed behind when everyone left fled for Nevada

You know I, I stayed behind to search for your smile, oh no

Hoping to find you in the rubble

Hoping, that I could just hold you for a while

′Cause when the City of Angels fell

When the City of Angels fell

When the City of Angels fell

I was busy letting you down, woman

When the City of Angels fell

When the City of Angels fell

I was nowhere to be found
