In The Shadow Of The Valley Lyrics - American Music Club

I gave up my cynicism, I gave up my hard shell 

I gave up everything that would cause you the least pain 

I'm immodest as a child old before it's time 

Why should I hide something I've no chance to see? 

My nights are all sleepless so all through my day 

I took the next shade of weariness down to L.A. 

I'm off like a shotgun out of your reach 

My self-importance, my mind-numbing haze 

No, I don't want to know about my life 

I don't want to know what I'm thinking or feeling 

Ignorance is bliss but babe, we won't stay that way 

We'll escape heaven somehow down in L.A. 

I can make your future easier to predict 

I'm hot as a devil and cold as an addict 

People usually just make me tired 

The plague of always deserving something better 

God save me from the rewards I deserve 

One for giving up hope and the one for the love that I serve 

If I opened my heart then you'd be washed away 

Down the bone-dry rivers that drain L.A. 

My nights are all sleepless and all through my day 

I like to take shades of weariness all through L.A.
