Intro

All you folks back home

 I'll never tell you this

you're not supposed to know

 where your daughter is

there are ways of life

 you never understood

it's right here downtown Hollywood

 it's afternoon on Sunset Boulevard

 I?ve got a stolen moment trying hard

 to write a kind of

 a kind of Christmascard

Chorus

 But I---am burning out again

 Toni---ght there is fever in my veins

Mama dear

 all the love you gave

I guess there?s really nothing

 nothing much to save

I see this place

It is as dirty as I feel myself

There are still som riches - at the Roosevelt

 That evening prayer those memorise

in my little bedroom,

 mama, on my knees

 That?s where i?m at down in Los Angeles

Chorus

 And I---am burning out again

 And I---must rise above the shame

 Toni---ght there is fever in my veins, yeah

Or, just think of the girl I used to be

 You were my age once mama

 Twentythree

I can still hear some of the songs you used to play

From that summer of love in ?68

 It seems it turned into a a winter of hate

Chorus

 And I---am burning out again

 It?s ti---me i?d rise above the pain

 Toni---ght there'll be fever in my veins

 Toni---ght there is fever in my veins, yeah

Summer of love

Winter of hate

Ahhh, summer of love
