ANGEL CITY
Don Johnson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All heads turned, when she walked in
And the mercury jumped to 95
She had passion painted on her body
And the fever in her eyes
She said: Sometimes I'm getting lonely
And I need someone
So baby, won't you call me, call me, call me
In Angel City
She was looking for love
And there is none at all
In Angel City
It's never enough
See her cry after midnight
When there's no-one else to call
You know the heart's a lonely hunter
When your back's against the wall
She said: Won't you stay a little longer cause I don't wanna sleep alone
Oh, this fever's getting stronger,
Stronger, stronger, stronger
In Angel City she was looking for love
And there's none at all
In Angel City
It's never enough
In Angel City
Looking for love
In Angel City
It's never enough - never enough
She said:
Won't you come and take a ride with me
You know I need someone
Oh deep into the night now
In Angel City
Looking for love
In Angel City
It's a cold, cold town




Feel the hunger
She's going down, down, down
