Los Angeles a Lifetime Ago Songtext
von Michael McDermott

Hey Little Santa Monica
You′re looking good,
Baby How've you been?
I can′t remember when I saw you last
Was it the night, I took it on the chin
I was bruised and bedeviled
Up in Beachwood Canyon that day
I had my foot on the pedal
Yet I couldn't seem to drive away... no way
I don't know what I was thinking
It′s hard to say now, I know
That was Los Angeles, A lifetime ago
Polly stumbled into Bordners
She′d been up for 36 hours straight
She said "You know, this time tomorrow
I'll be married to a guy, from a fly over State."
Bella always came to see me
At least every couple of days
I remember that night down on Melrose
When she smiled and said " I think


It′s better this way, so long babe."
Some dreams don't die easy
Some dreams don′t ever seem to grow
That was Los Angeles, a lifetime ago
I was high, up on Highland
Trying to make it back to the 101
The pirates over on Mansfield
Had so much fun, until it all came undone
Some angels just ride easy
Some angels fall so hard
If by chance, you don't believe me
Take a walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Tony Ciao Ciao moved downtown
Cassidy and Me in Silver Lake
We got so tired of hanging around
Just waiting on our big break, which never came
A part of me still lives there
Where the Santa Ana winds still blow
That was Los Angeles, a lifetime ago
Midnight at Formosa
Hey Johnny Mercer is on the radio
That was Los Angeles, a lifetime ago
