In L.a. Lyrics - Fame

Out in L.A. and broke on the ticket that this fellow sent me 

One change of clothes in the suitcase my girlfriend Anna lent me 

I stayed for awhile in his place, runnin' with this crowd of his 

Partyin' day after day, meetin' 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 two hundredth 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 the morning after buzz 

I packed my bag and split and found myself a dancin' 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 til there were no more tears to cry 

You try to stop the thought from 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 stayin' numb 

Don't look in the mirror 

To see what you've become 

Photos 

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's it's only a dream 

And a dream is a wish you wish for you 

In L.A. the dream may come true 

Yes, they know how to do it in L.A. 

They know that somewhere the sky is blue 

So smile when they say 'It's only a dream' 

And you'll get what is comin' to you 

In L.A, in L.A., in L.A. the dreams all come true
