From the mountains to the sea Walkin' in the suburban inner city From those downtown city lights To the uptown Hollywood Blvd. Nights Diversity runs deep in the faces Everybody in their own rat races But you always know where you are You gotta scorching in sunset Over Santa Monica City of angels City of angels Under the western sun City of angels City of angels At the ocean front City of angels City of angels Under the western sun Down in Soto In east Los To the ports of San Pedro Angelinos know what it means They got their own kind of culture The heart of the city proudly beats Another heat wave in the Valley Another hypersuit freeway bank robbery Tinsletown's got their head in the clouds Everybody hurry home Before the city burns itself down City of angels City of angels Under the western sun City of angels City of angels At the ocean front City of angels City of angels Under the western sun Another meltdown in LA town Meltdown Down on these busy streets There's a city watching over me City of angels City of angels Under the western sun City of angels City of angels At the ocean front City of angels City of angels Under the western sun You are the only one!
