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
