You may say I'm down and out
But I'm doin' all right
Got holes up in my Chucks
But they're tied on tight
Bet all my money on a train to L.A.
Stepped out the station and I'm on my way
It's the city of angels
It's the city of dreams
Where reality is not a guarantee
Pretty is the city where admission is free
Step right up
It's a city of dreams
Found me a place on the east east side
Hey, it's a closet but it's all mine
Crashing parties up in Los Feliz
I'm a stranger now, soon they'll be askin' for me
It's the city of angels
It's the city of dreams
Where reality is not a guarantee
Pretty is the city where admission is free
Step right up
It's a city of dreams
Dreamin' back on days when I crossed so many states
Now I'm here to stay
Ain't no book of rules
No one right way
The only way is keep on tryin'
It's the city of angels
It's the city of dreams
Where reality is not a guarantee
Pretty is the city where admission is free
Step right up
It's a city of dreams
