Fame - In L.a.

Out in l.a. and broke on the ticket that this fellow sent me
One charge of clothes in the suitcase that my girlfriend anna lent me
I stayed for a while in his place, running with this crowd of his
Partying day after day, meeting everybody in the biz
Oh, they know how to do it in l.a.
They know how to make it seem brand new
Though it`s true what they say, that it`s only a dream
And a dream is a wish you wish for you
In l.a. the dream may come true

After the booze and the coke, the visions of the blue pacific
After the twohundreth time i told him he was just terrific
I woke up one late afternoon and couldn`t tell quite where i was
Left over taste in my mouth and with a morning-after buzz
I packed my bag and split and found myself a dancing job
Worked the bar for tips and stripped for every lonely slob
Counted every single minute as the hours went by
Then fell in bed and cried till there were no more tears to cry
You try to stop the thought fom comin that it never ends
You think about how far you are from home and friends
You get thru one day at a time, you find a way of staying numb
Don`t look in the mirror to see what you`ve become
But they know how to do it in l.a.
They know how to make it seem so new
Though it`s true what they say, that it`s only a dream
And a dream is a wish you wish for you
In l.a. the dream may come true
Oh, they know how to do it in l.a.
They know how to make it seem so new
Though it`s true what they say, that it`s only a dream
And a dream is a wish you wish for you
In l.a., in l.a., in l.a. the dreams all come true
