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
