Fame movie - In L.A. lyrics

rate me

<br>

Out in L.A. and broke on the ticket that this fellow sent me <br>

One change of clothes in the suitcase my girlfriend Anna lent me <br>

I stayed for awhile in his place, runnin' with this crowd of his <br>

Partyin' day after day, meetin' everybody in the biz <br>

<br>

Oh, they know how to do it in L.A. <br>

They know how to make it seem brand new <br>

Though it's true what they say, that it's only a dream <br>

And a dream is a wish you wish for you <br>

In L.A the dream may come true <br>

<br>

After the booze and the coke <br>

The visions of the blue Pacific <br>

After the two hundredth time <br>

I told him he was just terrific <br>

<br>

I woke up one late afternoon <br>

And couldn't tell quite where I was <br>

Left-over taste in my mouth <br>

And the morning after buzz <br>

<br>

I packed my bag and split and found myself a dancin' job <br>

Worked the bar for tips and stripped for every lonely slob <br>

Counted every single minute as the hours went by <br>

Then fell in bed and cried til there were no more tears to cry <br>

<br>

You try to stop the thought from comin' <br>

That it never ends <br>

You think about how far you are <br>

From home and friends <br>

<br>

You get thru one day at a time <br>

You find a way of stayin' numb <br>

Don't look in the mirror <br>

To see what you've become <br>

<br>

But they know how to do it in L.A. <br>

They know hot to make it seem so new <br>

Though it's true what they say <br>

That's it's only a dream <br>

And a dream is a wish you wish for you <br>

In L.A. the dream may come true <br>

<br>

Yes, they know how to do it in L.A. <br>

They know how to make it seem brand new <br>

Though it's true what they say, that it's only a dream <br>

And a dream is a wish you wish for you <br>

In L.A, in L.A., in L.A. the dreams may all come... <br>

<br>

Yes, they know how to do it in L.A. <br>

They know that somewhere the sky is blue <br>

So smile when they say 'It's only a dream' <br>

And you'll get what is comin' to you <br>

In L.A, in L.A., in L.A. the dreams all come true<br>

<br>
