Ocean blue Fills your eyes Underneath the redwood skies As we're driving down the coast of California Way out west Hollywood Tale as old as bad and good Singing half-remembered lines to Hallelujah Going where the nights are never cold Going where the streets are paved with gold Or so I'm told, so I'm told Los Angeles I know someday you'll all remember me I'm on my knees Oh, city of the angels, set me free Broken blinds Old motels There's no bell to ring for help While you're waiting for the people to adore ya Hold on tight Use the pain You know all of this can change Like the lives of all stars who came before ya Going where the nights are never cold Going where the streets are paved with gold Or so I'm told, so I'm told Los Angeles I know someday you'll all remember me I'm on my knees Oh, city of the angels, set me free Oh, set me free Oh, set me free Los Angeles I know someday you'll all remember me I'm on my knees Oh, city of the angels, set me free
