Intro : (x2)
I was looking for a change of scene
You were looking at a magazine
It was r ed carpets and limousines
And the g rass seemed so much greener
All we wanted was to get there fast
So we p acked up everything we had
R unning on hope and a tank of gas
Like d reams ain't just for dreamers
We couldn't wait to l eave that life behind
Trying to find salvation in that c ity limit sign
And one of those L A nights
When the stars c ome out
Oh the s tars come out and s hine
And they b urn so bright
They drown the d owntown lights
When the s tars come out
Oh when the s tars come out
Everybody's somebody someday
Everybody's got a part to play
Everybody's trying to find a way
To s ay what needs saying
Everybody's got a friend of a friend
Somebody that can get you in
Begging angels for a sin
In a g ame that we're all playing
You and I we're gamblers holding c ards that we can't see
And I'm betting on you and you're b etting on me
And one of those L A nights
When the stars c ome out
Oh the s tars come out and s hine
And they b urn so bright
They drown the d owntown lights
When the s tars come out
Oh when the s tars come out
(x2)
Down on the freeway the s un is out of sight
And I got a feeling ton ight might be the night
Yeah ton ight might be the night
One of those L A nights
When the stars c ome out
Oh the s tars come out and s hine
And they b urn so bright
They drown the d owntown lights
When the s tars come out
Oh when the s tars come out
When the s tars come out
Ohhh oh o h
when the s tars come out
