Alright Now

[Verse 1]
Well, you went to L.A., first time under the law
Yeah, your head jumped fun, so you thought it's 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

[Verse 2]
Well, it rained three days, so the street began to flood
Everyone took off, they said they'd had enough
Since 26, since 40 licks, you’d 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

[Chorus]
By the pinball lights, you got petrified
Your glass in hand, you're 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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
Well, sonny, she can't hear you anymore
Sonny, she can't hear you anymore

[Verse 3]
When the lights go down on Broadway
I could 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
