It’s a silver mornin’ People getting’ up above the city Hot sun is-a comin’ And the buck and doe will sleep above the city California hilltop mornin’ in the gold and the olive and the cinnamon brown California hilltop mornin’ in the chaparral above the cinnamon town High on the hill above the cinnamon town Oh, you gotta run with your dog and chase a covey of quail Or hear a motorcycle reachin’ on the Beechwood Trail Burnin’ in the sun! City of the Angels! Silver mornin’ Smoke hangin’ over the city Hot sun is-a pourin’ Down through the clouds into the city California hilltop mornin’ in the gold and the olive and the cinnamon brown California hilltop mornin’ in the chaparral above the cinnamon town High on a hill above the cinnamon town Oh, oh, you gotta run with your dog and chase a covey of quail Or hear a motorcycle reachin’ on the Beechwood Trail Oh! City of the Angels! Silver mornin’ Smog hangin’ over the city Hot sun is-a pourin’ Down through the clouds into the city (Pourin’ like a fire through the city) Down through the clouds into the city … No…city!… (Got to feel it, got to breathe it, don’t you know it!)
