When the Stars Come Out

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was lookin' for a change of scene You were lookin' at a magazine It was red carpets and limousines And the grass seemed so much greener All we wanted was to get there fast So we packed up everything we had Runnin' on hope and a tank of gas Like dreams ain't just for dreamers [Pre-Chorus] We couldn't wait to leave that life behind And try to find salvation in that city limit sign [Chorus] And one of those L.A. nights When the stars come out Oh, the stars come out And shine And they burn so bright They drown the downtown lights When the stars come out Oh, when the stars come out [Verse 2] Everybody's somebody someday Everybody's got a part to play Everybody's tryin' to find a way To say what needs sayin' Everybody's got a friend of a friend Somebody that can get you in Beggin' angels for a sin In a game that we're all playin' [Pre-Chorus] You and I, we're gamblers holdin' cards that we can't see I'm bettin' on you and you're bettin' on me [Chorus] One of those L.A. nights When the stars come out Oh, the stars come out And shine And they burn so bright They drown the downtown lights When the stars come out Oh, when the stars come out [Bridge] Down on the freeway, the sun is outta sight And I got a feelin' tonight might be the night Yeah, tonight might be the night [Chorus] One of those L.A. nights When the stars come out Oh, the stars come out And shine And they burn so bright They drown the downtown lights When the stars come out Oh, when the stars come out [Outro] When the stars come out, oh When the stars come out
