A young woman seeking her fortune in Hollywood, finds everything in "The City of Angels," is different. You get dusty from swimming in the river, the freeway is a parking lot, and the language people use is different. Yes means no, not now means never,

Lyrics
Another Way to Say Goodbye (Music and Lyrics by Patricia Bahia and Jon Hayes)
Verse 1
Fortune cookie told me go to where the sun shines
So I packed the car headed south on Five for the Hollywood sign
When I landed here, I didn't understand
Angelino speak or the lay of the land
Not like I'm knowin' it now
PC
I didn't know you
Could get dusty if you try to swim the river
And the freeway is a parking lot
And "Yes" means "no"
"Not now" means "never" and your youth
can last forever an-and "maybe" means "maybe not"
(I'll call you I'll call you I'll call you I'll call you)
Chorus
In the City of Angels
I'll Call you, isn't a lie
In the City of Angels (I'll call you I'll call you I'll call you)
Just Another Way to Say Goodbye
Verse 2
People here will tell you to be familiar, but totally fresh
Gotta change every little thing about you, but just be yourself
Nobody knows anything but they all know this
They don't want to be the one who missed
The next superstar
PC
They never want
to close a door
Or burn a bridge
or say no more
Cause you could be the one they've been looking for
Chorus
In the City of Angels
Not even a little white lie
In the City of Angels (I'll call you I'll call you I'll call you I'll call you)
Just Another Way to Say Goodbye
In the City of Angels
Just another way to feel alive
In the City of Angels (I'll call you I'll call you I'll call you I'll call you)
Just Another Way to Say Goodbye
Bridge
Now I know, I'm not crazy
Now I know now I know
Just another way to say goodbye
Chorus
In the City of Angels
Not even a little white lie
In the City of Angels (I'll call you I'll call you I'll call you I'll call you)
Just Another Way to Say Goodbye
In the City of Angels
Just another way to feel alive
In the City of Angels (I'll call you I'll call you I'll call you I'll call you)
Just Another Way to Say Goodbye
