Alright now

well you moved to la
first time under the law
yeah you had your fun
so you thought it time to move on

but the pretty girls from the underworld
made it easier said than done
yeah soon enough you were hanging out
you were back where you'd begun
but maybe it's alright now

well it rained three days, so the street began to flood
everyone took off they said they had enough
since 26, since 40 licks you been moving through the fog
yeah you never said what you really meant
did you think that it would stop?
but baby it's alright now
baby it's alright now

by the pinball lights
you got petrified
your glass in hand just staring at the walls
you could try to change
but you just stay strange
and drink away the emptiness
paranoid the sas
will end the game by kicking in your door

by the pinball lights
you got petrified
your glass in hand just staring at the walls

yeah you just stay strange
and you call her name
but sonny she can't hear you anymore
sonny she can't hear you anymore

when the lights go down on broadway
i can still hear all the things you used to say
from out my window watch the fires burn down the road
at times i wonder if you're listening now i know
at times i wonder if you hear me now i know
