The gentleman's in the lane
|
Spinning his hat on a cane
|
Stepping out, out for change
|
Good morning all, it's a beautiful day
|
|
The generals are winning a war
|
Seemed suicidal before
|
You came alone, now
|
I'll protect you, long as you stay
|
|
L.A.
|
Morning had to come
|
You'll be walking in the sun
|
Living in the day
|
But last night I was about to throw it all away
|
If patience started a band
|
I'd be her biggest fan
|
Look at me, I'm talking to you
|
|
I don't want the lead in your play
|
|
The star's just a part of the scene
|
The gentleman in green
|
Paying off, out on the street
|
I can't go home, it's not on my way
|
|
L.A.
|
Things are never done
|
Car's parked in the sun
|
Living in the day
|
But last night I was about to throw it all away
|
Last night I was about to throw it all away
|
Last night I was about to throw it all away
|
Last night I was about to throw it all away
|
