Dancing like the night time down in Nashville,
But I seem to know the ghosts who like to run,
I got a call to go, to a late night picture show,
So I traded in the darkness and I'm already there,
I'm already there and I'm trying, to make some friends.
So if you see that movie star and me,
If you see my picture in a magazine,
Or if you fall asleep by the bedroom TV,
Well honey, I'm just trying,
To make some sense outta me.
I left a lot of ghosts in San Francisco,
And now you wanna say you see through me,
Well, what you want to see ain't your memories of me,
So I could turn around tonight, but I'm already there,
I'm already there and I'm just trying, to make some friends.
So if you see that movie star and me,
If you should see my picture in a magazine,
Or if you fall asleep while you're watching TV,
Well honey, I'm just trying,
To make some sense of Los Angeles.
Boston gets cold this time of year,
Seems like each day just leaves me numb,
I gotta get outta here and go walking in the sun.
Well if you see that movie star and me,
If you should see my picture in a magazine,
Or if you fall asleep by the bedroom TV,
Well honey, I'm just trying to make some sense,
Honey, I'm just trying to make some friends,
But baby, I'm not trying to make amends,
For coming to Los Angeles,
Oh, Los Angeles.
No more Boston, no more Nashville, no more Oakland,
Oh baby, come on out to the city,
Come on, take a walk down Sunset with me,
Oh, we gonna get drunk, find us some skinny girls,
And go street walkin'
Street walkin' baby, oh, in Los Angeles,
Street walkin' baby.
Hey man, it's a really good place to find yourself a taco.
