City of Angels Lyrics

gone fishing for compliments
on hollywood and vine
i'd come to your party
but i haven't finished mine
talk to the doctor
he turns acid into wine, 'cause
i am an angelin the city of angels
nothing cuts too deep
yes i am an angel
in the city of angels
and i live the biggest sleep . . . oh oh oh
i'm off to chew the fat
where all the in crowd chew
hang loose at the oscar show
and at the yacht club too
don't mess with me
'cos i've a bigger hose than you. 'cause
i am an angelin the city of angels
nothing cuts too deep
yes i am an angel
in the city of angels
and i live the biggest sleep
cos i am an angelnothing here is real
cos i am an angelin the city of angels
it only matters what you feel
cause
i am an angel
in the city of angels
and everything is cool
cause i am an angel
in the city of angels
it's me i'm trying to fool
'cos i am an angel
in the city of angels
nothings as it seems
'cos i am an angel
in the city of angels
so come and live your dreams
'cos i am an angelin the city of angels
nothing cuts too deep
'cos i am an angel
in the city of angels
and i live the biggest sleep

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
