Every night I see the stars keep shining bright And I don't believe the light that's in the sky All the day the stars just seem to fade away Like they're waiting for the darkness of the night Fancy cars and all the rock and roll stars They just make their way down Sunset Boulevard Palm trees keep on blowing in the breeze As they decorate the front of every yard Like a wheel we go round and round The same old song never ends Every day it's up or down And we try to pretend L.A. way, it's the L.A. way The short skirts tend to crowd the avenues As they're looking for a chance to make a deal And down town all the beggars want it too As they're looking for a place for their next meal Like a wheel we go round and round The same old song never ends Every day it's up or down As we try to pretend Wherever you go, whatever you do We all will be watching you Whoever you are, wherever you go We all need to know Like a wheel we go round and round The same old song never ends Every day it's up or down And we try to pretend L.A. way, it's the L.A. way L.A. way, it's the L.A. way
