He certainly did earn that reputation.
Well I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
Or just another lost angel, City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, yeah, City of Night
I said L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon, yeah
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
Drive through your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues
Into your blue-blue blues
Into your blues
I see your hair is burnin'
The hills are filled with fire, yeah
And if they say I never loved you (loved you, loved you)
You know they are a liar
Yeah, I'm drivin' down your freeways
Midnight alleys roam
Yeah the cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman, yeah
So alone, so alone, yeah
So alone-lone-lone
So alone, hey
Motel money ya murder madness
Let's change your mood from glad to sadness
Mr. Mojo Risin'
Ya got to keep on risin'
Mr. Mojo Risin'
I'm goin' ridin' ridin'
Yeah
Well I just got into town about an hour ago
I took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
Or just another lost angel, yeah, City of Night, oh
City of Night, yeah, City of Night, woah, City of Night, yeah
Said L.A. woman, you're my woman
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
Took a look around see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light
Or just another lost angel, City of Night
City of Night, City of Night, yeah, City of Night
I said L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon, yeah
L.A. woman Sunday afternoon
Drive through your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues
Into your blue-blue blues
Into your blues
I see your hair is burnin'
The hills are filled with fire, yeah
And if they say I never loved you (loved you, loved you)
You know they are a liar
Yeah, I'm drivin' down your freeways
Midnight alleys roam
Yeah the cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman, yeah
So alone, so alone, yeah
So alone-lone-lone
So alone, hey
Motel money ya murder madness
Let's change your mood from glad to sadness

L.A. woman Sunday afternoon

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
excellent cover one of the best cover songs i've ever heard
