  • Fighter jets all over my city, uh
    Cool car trails in the skies, yeah
    Its breaking news all over the TV
    We were here, by surprise
    Alright

    I was at Townhouse down in Venice Beach, oh no
    Stealin' moments with you know who, oh oh
    We won the war but not a day goes by
    That I don't think I should've be with you

    When the city of angels fell
    When the city of angels fell
    When the city of angels fell
    Yeah, I was busy letting you down, woman
    When the city of angels fell
    When the city of angels fell
    I was nowhere to be found
    Alright

    A vast shadow cast over my city, uh-huh
    Some kinda, unknown ship sittin' in the sky, now, ooh-ooh-ooh
    I guess they came here looking for trouble
    No time for goodbyes, oh

    When the city of angels fell
    When the city of angels fell
    When the city of angels fell
    I was busy letting you down, woman
    When the city of angels fell
    When the city of angels fell
    And I was nowhere to be found
    No, no, nowhere to be found
    Nowhere honey, oh no

    Drinking my favorite tequila, alright
    You know I, saved your last message to my phone, woman
    I didn't text you back that night, did I?
    It just says, "Baby, when do you think you'll be home?" no no
    I stayed behind when everyone left, left for Nevada
    You know I, I stayed behind to search for your smile, oh no
    Hoping to find you in the rubble
    Hoping, that I could just hold you for a while

    'Cause when the city of angels fell
    When the city of angels fell
    When the city of angels fell
    I was busy letting you down, woman
    When the city of angels fell
    When the city of angels fell
    I was nowhere to be found
