In L.A. - Fame (karaoke)

Confessions

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

But they know how to do it in L.A.
They know hot 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 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, in L.A., in L.A. the dreams may all come...

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
