[Verse 1]
Oh, carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans I guess I've failed to pass the test
I've been sent away not a thing to say
I'm banished from the fold
I'm a fallen angel who's lost his wings and left out in the cold
[Chorus]
Ooooh L.A. connection
Oh L.A. connection
L.A. connection, yeah
[Verse 2]
Operator place a call keep secret put it through
Investigator knows it all he's at the window I wonder who
I've got to cut the line and let me drift find a haven in the storm
I got no time I need a lift to where it's sweet and close and warm
[Chorus]
I say
Ooooh L.A. connection
Oh L.A. connection
L.A. connection
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Hey, carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans well I've just failed the test
Feel I'm balanced on the brim should I lean another way
Like a flame that's going on the dim needs blessing from the day, oh
[Chorus]
Ooooh L.A. connection, L.A. connection
Oh take me away I got nothing to say
It's got to be an L.A. connection, oh
Ooooh L.A. connection, L.A. connection
[Outro]
Ooooh, L.A., L.A., L.A., L.A., L.A. connection
Connection, oh
Ooooh L.A. connection, L.A. connection
Oh L.A., oh, L.A. connection
L.A., L.A. inspection
Ooooh L.A. connection, L.A. connection
Oh I'm down, oh I'm down
I can't take a rejection
L.A., need an L.A. connection
L.A., yeah, oh L.A. connection
L.A. connection
I'm flying away
Take me back home, I gotta get home to L.A
L.A., L.A. connection, L.A
Oh, L.A. connection, L.A. connection
Ooooh, ooooh, L.A. connection, L.A
