| To the town of dreams he has come to make his mark
|
| Just a small, small fish in a pond that’s full of sharks
|
| Well, it’s sink or swim and if you wanna grow
|
| It’s not what you do, it’s just who you know
|
| So he hangs around in the clubs when the skies grow dark
|
| At a casual glance, well, he looks real sleek
|
| Drives a foreign car 'cause that’s L.A. chic
|
| If you look real close, well, his sneakers leak
|
| The L.A. Dreamer
|
| Now he rents a place that is far from Beverly Hills
|
| And it’s work all day 'cause he has to pay the bills
|
| Every night he’s out down on Sunset Strip
|
| Being seen around all those clubs so hip
|
| Then it’s up at eight, make it through on those magic pills
|
| At a casual glance, well, he looks real sleek
|
| Drives a foreign car 'cause that’s L.A. chic
|
| If you look real close, well, his sneakers leak
|
| The L.A. Dreamer
|
| Standing where he can be seen
|
| Stand around for long enough and
|
| Soon he’s part of the machine
|
| Of stars and bars the L.A. dreamer schemes
|
| In a few short weeks he is seen at every place
|
| Just by hanging out everybody knows his face
|
| Oh, he comes on strong like he’s real big deal
|
| Buying drinks all around, can’t afford no meals
|
| Trying oh so hard to get a start in that L.A. race
|
| At a casual glance, well, he looks real sleek
|
| Drives a foreign car 'cause that’s L.A. chic
|
| If you look real close, well, his sneakers leak
|
| The L.A. Dreamer |
