Around Here

Around here, rejection is as common as a sunburn
Around here, it's always who you know, and never what you've learned
Around here, if the September heat don't kill you
Then a cold shoulder will

Around here, the sunshine comes with quite a hefty price tag
Around here, you can measure life by hours on the highway
Around here, if the faking it don't kill you
Then the real estate will

But in the city of angels
I have faced my demons
In the miles of traffic
I have found my freedom
Between the Hills and the Valley
I've discovered reasons
For all this
Here in Los Angeles

Around here, you might assume that everybody's famous
Around here, we could sell our souls and nobody would blame us
Around here, if the industry don't kill you
Then your expectations will

But in the city of angels
I have faced my demons
In the miles of traffic
I have found my freedom
Between the Hills and the Valley
I've discovered reasons
For all this
Here in Los Angeles

'Cause I found magic in the mountains
And shelter under palm trees
I found it's better to take Fountain
And Pacific waves can wash you clean
I fell in love with sunsets
That fill up the western sky
Still my favorite place is Sunset
On the east side of town

'Cause in the city of angels
I have faced my demons
In the miles of traffic
I have found my freedom
Between the Hills and the Valley
I've discovered reasons
For all this
Oh

'Cause in the city of angels
I have faced my demons
In the miles of traffic
I have found my freedom
Between the Hills and the Valley
I've discovered reasons
For all this
Here in Los Angeles
