Under the Bridge

And now a slight break from the norm: Some outtakes from recent months, as framed by an iconic LA song.

Sometimes I feel
Like I don’t have a partner


Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The City of Angels


Lonely as I am
Together we cry


I drive on her streets
’Cause she’s my companion


I walk through her hills
’Cause she knows who I am


She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie


I don’t ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way


I don’t ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way


It’s hard to believe
That there’s nobody out there
It’s hard to believe
That I’m all alone


At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry


I don’t ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way


I don’t ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way


Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough


Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away


But if that's too dour, far be it from me not to end on a lighter note.

“Under the Bridge” lyrics by Anthony Kiedis.
