Lyrics
(VERSE)
Touching down in the city
After eight hours on a plane
Buildings glow in the night
And people drive their cars
But from this height
It's like a field of stars
Looking down on the lights of LA
The streets here aren't too tricky
Square blocks all over the place
And to the left and the right
Loud, libidinous billboards
I'm checking out all the sights
On Hollywood Boulevard
Looking down on the lights of LA
(BRIDGE)
And you would think
This scene should be
Just right for me
But I don't see
The life I want here
I'm not too sad to be leaving
But I admit I was entertained
But I was thinking the whole time
This is one crazy town
Now I'm back up in the sky
Life goes on below those clouds
And I won't be around
I'm looking down on the lights of LA
On the lights of LA
On the lights of LA
