The gentleman's in the lane   spinning his hat on a cane   stepping out, out for a change      good morning all, it's a beautiful day      the general's are winning a war   seemed suicidal before   you come along, now   I'll protect you long as you stay      LA   morning had to come   I'd 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 gentelman in green   paying off out on the street   I can't go home, it's not on my way      LA   things I'd never done, cars 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
