The gentleman's in the lane  Spinning his hat on a cane  Stepping out, out for a change  Good morning all, it's a beautiful day  The generals are winning the war  Seemed suicidal before you came along  Now, now  I'll protect you, long as you'll stay  LA  Morning had to come, I'd be walking in the sun  Living in the day  But last night I was about to throw it all away  If patience started a band  I'd be her biggest fan  Look at me, I'm talking to you  I don't want the lead in your play  The star's just a part of the scene  The gentleman in green  Paying off, out on the street  I can't go home, it's not on my way  LA  Things I've never done, cars parked in the sun  Living in the day  But last night I was about to throw it all away  Last night I was about to throw it all away  Last night I was about to throw it all away  Last night I was about to throw it all away
