Lucky old sun

Up in the morning
Out on the job
Work so hard for my pay
But that lucky old sun's got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Show me that river
Take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Whilst that lucky old sun's got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Maumamayama glory, Hallelujah
Maumamayama glory, Hallelujah

The sun burns a hole through the 6am haze
Turns up the volume and shows off its rays
Another dodger blue skies is crowning L.A.
The city of angels is blessed everyday

That lucky old sun smiles on me
Wanna slide down the mountain to the dancing sea

I'm listening to the morning beat
It's rising from star-studded concrete
The city has my favourite soundtrack
It makes you wanna move even though it's laidback

Take it in stride, it'll kickstart your feet
When you're tuned in to the morning beat

Driving through the maze of the Hollywood Hills
Headed to the ocean for a view that could kill
Watching from the wheel at Santa Monica pier
A million diamonds floating on heavenly tears

The gentle wind won't make a sound
Even though it's forcing the waves to pound

Maumamayama glory, Hallelujah
Maumamayama glory, Hallelujah

Hear those guitars gently strumming
Hear those voices softly humming
It's hard to feel down
Living in this town
But you're so far away
It's a long, long way from January
All the way to December

Even when the sun and I head off the street
There's an unspoken promise that we keep
We'll pilot our light into another day
And keep a golden glow warming up L.A.

Even when dreams are deep and sweet
I'm listening for the rhythm of the morning beat
I'll listen for the morning beat
I'll listen for the morning beat

Maumamayama glory, Hallelujah
Maumamayama glory, Hallelujah

Just now I was thinkin' bout another perfect day
Wishing it would come again your way
Down below, a sparkled city scatters by the bay
Tells you your suspicions are at play
One by one, a carpet of star-spangled cities sleep
Like so many dancing diamonds with a beat
Each of them are home with walls of stories they could tell
Meet the crack of dawn
A freeway starts to roll
An owl hoots it's last goodbye to a coyote on patrol
Each day keeps me guessin'
Will you take what I'm confessing?
Will you find the heartbeat in L.A.?

He loves her when she's sleeping
And all the dreams she's keeping
She keeps him in a jar but not too far from her heart

They have the good kind of love
Good kind of love, good kind of love
They have the right kind of thing
Right kind of thing, right kind of thing
Makes me wanna sing it to you

Just him and her
They're so close together
Now they just met
Started newfound treasure

Woah, woah
Run to him, run to him
Right in his arms

They have the good kind
They have the good kind
They have the good kind of love

Now she finds peace in knowing (She knows)
Knowing he'll always be there (Always)
Imagine all the women who'd like a man like him

They have the good kind of love
Good kind of love, good kind of love
They have the right kind of thing
Right kind of thing, right kind of thing
Makes me wanna sing it to you

Just him and her
They're so close together
Now they just met
Started newfound treasure

Woah, woah
Run to him, run to him
Right to his arms, yeah

They have the good kind
They have the good kind
They have the good kind of love

Sun keeps on shining
He rolls round heaven above
A little bit of loving and a-kissin' and a-huggin'
That's how they fell in love

They have the good kind
They have the good kind
They have the good kind of love

Summer '61
A goddess became my song
Fell in her ocean eyes
As endless as the sky

Forever she'll be my surfer girl
Forever she'll be my surfer girl
My little one

First love is the moment
You can't repeat, but you'll always own it
The gift she gave to me
Her timeless melody

Forever she'll be my surfer girl
Forever she'll be my surfer girl
My little one

So sweet
Now there's all kinds of music
So sweet
And don't you know the truth is
So sweet
You were my special lover

So sweet
You were my baby grand
So sweet
Such a sweet ballad and
So sweet
Sweet voices right from heaven
Radio seven

So long, so long ago
Two waves gently say hello
We'll never say goodbye
Where the horizon lies

Forever she'll be my surfer girl
Forever she'll be my surfer girl
My little one

Venice Beach is poppin'
Like live shrimp dropped on a hot walk
Hucksters, hustlers and hawkers
Set up their boardwalk shops
Home for all the homeless, hopeless
Well-heeled and deranged
Still, nothing here seems out of place or strange
There's an old smudge of a beatnik by the bay
Looking like a dog who's had his day
Like a dream he drifts away
He likes to go out on the pier
To hear the reedy carousel
It's got a melody that sets you free
And says, "Let's set a spell
Just to hear the heartbeat in L.A."

I've got a notion we come from the ocen
And God Almighty has his hands on the water
Blue pacific, as azure as the sky

Perfect for fish, making a wish
Just like a teardrop to fall
Whale passin' me by, wonderin' why
Live let live, not die

I am a diver, a long-line survivor
And man's small whale's all
Body gravity zero
Play the hero, don't mean nothing you see

Man passin' by, caught in the eye
Ponderin' wherefore and why
God help me for whale babies that cry
Live let live, not die

My heart beats so fast
(heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat...)
Our hearts meet at last

Feature creatures of God
Let them abound, where they are found
Let's get the hell outta here

Hey, Mexican girl
A dahlia in your hair
The soul of Los Feliz where laughter fills the air
Won't you make me smile
Light up my sundial
Girl, you cast a net
On the day we met
Mexican, Mexican, Mexican girl
Danced her way into my world

Hey, Mexican girl, with eyes of burning fire
Heal me with your passion
Inspire me to inspire

Loyal and strong, yet tender as a song
Help me understand, make me a better man
Mexican, Mexican, Mexican girl
Danced her way into my world

Hey, bonita muchacha
Don't you know that I want ya?
Hey, bonita muchacha
I need to know that I got ya

You have my sacred heart
We'll finish at the start
Can you picture me
In your family tree?

Mexican, Mexican, Mexican girl

Down on Olivera Street, a Mexicano cry
A grito, Te quiero, Te quiero, Te' adoro
This is where the Anglo gets his Latin lover's sigh
Adios muchachas y boleros, and goodbye
Salsa rumbles rafters in a chop shop filled with cars
Custom shopped and channelled
with a drag race in their stars
City of Angels, Be all you can be
Be movies, Be A-list
Be seen just to see your part
Repeat, the heartbeat in L.A.

You broke your hand punching the clock
So you could feel your heart
Took a greyhound all the way west
Where the streets are paved with stars

It's never too late to find your California role

The Hollywood sign burns through the smog (through the smog)
And reawakens your dreams
Livin' under this sun
Disappointment's not as bad as it seems

It's never too late to find your California role

Every girl, the next Marilyn
Every guy, Errol Flynn
Sometimes you've got to edit your dreams
And find the spotlight behind the seams

Here in California
Man, I gotta warn ya
Find your California role

You don't have to climb the Capitol Tower
Or play the Hollywood Bowl
If there's a roll in your heart
And a rock in your soul

If you miss your shot
It doesn't mean you won't meet your goal

Be do be do
Be do be do

Don't drown your sorrows now, just take a dip
You can satisfy your thirst with just one sip
If you miss the premiere 'cause you never arrive
The best part of this L.A. trip just might be the ride

Here in California
Man, I gotta warn ya
Find your California role

Rollin' round heaven all day
That lucky old sun, Roll, roll
Round, round, around in heaven

Pumps drunk with oil
Dance like prehistoric locusts on the hills to LAX
People fill their tanks in flights of fancy
Actors wait tables with a method they can't share
Wait for what's next
Wait for the big screen in disrepair
I mean, despair
I mean, that actor standing there
I mean, are we all not actors?
And the whole wide world our stage?
Nah, some are worthy writers
with the grit to hit the page
To be or not be
Now, just part of the heartbeat in L.A.

Open up, open up, open your eyes
It's time, it's time, it's time to rise
Okay, let's take it slow
You ain't got no place to go

I cried a million tears
I wasted a lot of years
Life was so dead (so dead)
Life was so dead (so dead)

Oxygen, oxygen right to the brain
Skip the vice versus, get to the refrain
Let yourself go, don't carry that weight
Never destroy when you can create

Ready steady, California
I'm filling up my lungs again
And breathing light

How could I have got so low
I'm embarassed to tell you so
I laid around this whole place
I hardly ever washed my face

Oxygen, oxygen right to the brain
Skip the vice versus, get to the refrain
Let yourself go, don't carry that weight
Never destroy when you can create

Ready steady, California
I'm filling up my lungs again
And breathing light

Now it don't matter what your age is
Don't you know it's just a state of mind
Let's get the jump on it before it's too late
Friendly reminder, friendly reminder

So take a lesson from one who knows
Just where being lazy goes
There's a time to live
A reason to live, to live, to live

Oxygen, oxygen right to the brain
Skip the vice versus, get to the refrain
Let yourself go, don't carry that weight
Never destroy when you can create

Ready steady, California
I'm filling up my lungs again
And breathing light

Open up, open up, open your eyes
It's time, it's time, it's time to rise
Okay, let's take it slow
You ain't got no place to go

Been too long
Been too long

Lost my way
The sun grew dear
Stepped over graves
And stood in seers
Took the dive but couldn't swim
A flag without the wind

When there's no morning without you
There's only darkness the whole day through
Took the diamond from my soul
And turned it back into coal

All these voices
All these memories
Make me feel like stone
All these people
Make me feel so alone

Lost in the dark
No shades of grey
Until I found
Midnight's another day

Swept away in a braying storm
Chapters missing, pages torn
Waited too long to feel the warmth
I had to chase the sun

All these voices
All these memories
Make me feel like stone
All these people
Make me feel so alone

Lost in the dark
No shades of grey
Until I found
Midnight's another day

I'm going home, I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
Found peace of mind, yeah one piece at a time
I'm going home
(Sure don't know why I'm rollin' round heaven)
I'm going home
(Sure don't know why I'm rollin' round heaven)
I heard my sound (Sure don't know why I'm rollin' round heaven)
And found my smile
(Sure don't know why I'm rollin' round heaven)
Living in love, yeah yeah yeah, it's been a while

Homesick, (homesick)
This son shines nowhere else (this son shines nowhere else)
So homesick (homesick), I'm even missing myself

At 25 I turned out the light
Cause I couldn't handle the glare in my tired eyes
But now I'm back, drawing shades of kind blue skies

Rock, roll, rollin' round heaven
Rock, roll, rollin' round heaven
Rock, roll, rollin' round heaven
Rock, roll, rollin' round heaven
Rock, roll, rollin' round heaven

Homesick, (homesick)
This son shines nowhere else (this son shines nowhere else)
So homesick (homesick), I'm even missing myself

At 25 I turned out the light
Cause I couldn't handle the glare in my tired eyes
But now I'm back, drawing shades of kind blue skies

It's good to travel
But not for too long
So, now I'm home where I belong
And that's the key, yeah yeah yeah,
To every song

I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home

I had this dream
Singing with my brothers
In harmony, supporting each other
Tail winds, wheels spin, down the pacific coast
Surfin on the A.M., heard those voices again

In Southern California,
Dreams wake up for you
And when you wake up here
You wake up everywhere

In the flow of the ocean
and the warmth of the rays
Heard music in the air and in the waves
The wind chimed, laughter rhymed
We had nothing but time
In Southern California
I heard the voice of my mind

In Southern California,
Dreams wake up for you
And when you wake up here
You wake up everywhere

Oh, it's magical
Living your dreams
Don't want to sleep, you might miss something
Oh, it's magical
I'm glad it happened to me
Fell asleep in the band room
Woke up in history

Surfer silhouettes
The sun went into the sea
As we headed home, we drove into a movie
Love songs, pretty girls -
Didn't want it to end
Tried to slow down the motion
So it could move us again

In Southern California,
Dreams wake up for you
And when you wake up here
You wake up everywhere

Maumamayama glory, Hallelujah
Maumamayama glory, Hallelujah

All day, roll around heaven
Rollin' round heaven all day
Work, a work, a workin' in the sun all day
Work, a work, a workin' in the sun all day
