Lyrics
Album release
I'm back in black
No one to hold my hand
It seems that we're together but alone
And now I hear the ticking of a clock
I know we're going down a slippery slope
I wonder what it's like out there
When my eyes are like far away spaceships
You are a sealed up door
There's gotta be more to our lives than this
This girl I like
I'm talking 'bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah, I'm living in L.A
This girl I like
I'm talking 'bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah, I'm living in L.A
We're fortune's fools when we took the bait
We sacrifice our lives for rock and roll
Je ne sais pas, burning at the stake
We never really had a choice at all
I wonder what it’s like out there
When my eyes are two far away spaceships
You are a sealed up door
And there’s gotta’ be more to our lives than this
This girl I like
I'm talking 'bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah, I'm living in L.A
This girl I like
I'm talking 'bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah, I'm living in L.A
Looking for a fight, looking for a fight
And I'm still trying to figure out my life
Pretending we don't want each other
Alright now
Looking for a fight, looking for a fight
And the spider is sucking out my life
And I'm reaching out to touch her
This girl I like
I'm talking 'bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah, I'm living in L.A
This girl I like
I'm talking 'bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah, I'm living in L.A
This girl I like
I'm talking 'bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah, I'm living in L.A

Unused lyrics (liner notes)
I’m back in black
No one to hold my hand
It seems that we’re together but alone
And now I hear the ticking of a clock
I know we’re going down a slippery slope
I wonder what it’s like out there
My eyes are like far away spaceships
You are a sealed up door
There’s gotta’ be more to our lives than this
This girl I like
We’re talking ‘bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah I’m living in LA
This girl I like
We’re talking ‘bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah I’m living in LA
She’ll never say pa’ tell me what I want
We’ve always been a two way radio
Hallmark cards written by a sphinx
We sacrifice our lives for rock and roll
I wonder what it’s like out there
My eyes are two far away spaceships
You are a sealed up door
There’s gotta’ be more to our lives than this
This girl I like
We’re talking ‘bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah I’m living in LA
This girl I like
We’re talking ‘bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah I’m living in LA
Looking for a fight, looking for a fight
And I’m still trying to figure out my life
Pretending we don’t want each other
Alrighty now
Looking for a fight, looking for a fight
Give his last name back and take mine
If she wants me to touch her
This girl I like
We’re talking ‘bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah I’m living in LA
This girl I like
We’re talking ‘bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah I’m living in LA
This girl I like
We’re talking ‘bout this girl I like
But I feel so lonely, feel so lonely
Yeah I’m living in LA
