Say it doesn't rain in California
But man I gotta tell you that's a lie
They say you don't feel pain in California
This city hurt me more than I could write
Everybody gonna be a star they say
Sleeping with a model, swimming in cocaine
They say it doesn't rain in California
But man I gotta tell you that's a lie

In the city filled with Angels
The devil got a hold of me
The devil got a hold of me
In the city filled with Angels
I'm looking for the good in me
I'm looking for the good in me

They say you'll make your name in California
But all that I've been asking is, "Who am I?"
They say your dreams come true in California
But what I've seen it's where dreams come to die
Say everybody's gonna be a star they say
Sleeping with a model, swimming in cocaine, yeah
They say it doesn't rain in California
But man I gotta tell you that's a lie

In the city filled with Angels
The devil got a hold of me
The devil got a hold of me
In the city filled with Angels
I'm looking for the good in me
I'm looking for the good in me

They say it doesn't rain in California
Well sometimes even Angels have to cry
