Charlie - L.A. Dreamer lyrics

Colbeck-Thomas To the town of dreams he has come to make his mark Just a small, small fish in a pond that's full of sharks Well, it's sink or swim and if you wanna grow It's not what you do, it's just who you know So he hangs around in the clubs when the skies grow dark At a casual glance, well, he looks real sleek Drives a foreign car 'cause that's L.A. chic If you look real close, well, his sneakers leak The L.A. Dreamer Now he rents a place that is far from Beverly Hills And it's work all day 'cause he has to pay the bills Every night he's out down on Sunset Strip Being seen around all those clubs so hip Then it's up at eight, make it through on those magic pills At a casual glance, well, he looks real sleek Drives a foreign car 'cause that's L.A. chic If you look real close, well, his sneakers leak The L.A. Dreamer Standing where he can be seen Stand around for long enough and Soon he's part of the machine Of stars and bars the L.A. dreamer schemes In a few short weeks he is seen at every place Just by hanging out everybody knows his face Oh, he comes on strong like he's real big deal Buying drinks all around, can't afford no meals Trying oh so hard to get a start in that L.A. race At a casual glance, well, he looks real sleek Drives a foreign car 'cause that's L.A. chic If you look real close, well, his sneakers leak The L.A. Dreamer
