L.A. In The Sunshine

(album: Diamantina Cocktail - 1976)

L.A. in the sunshine,
Or it's Denver and we're snowblind,
All the palm trees on the skyline,
It's a good day, it's a good time.

Getting into all that I have seen,
Getting off on everywhere I've been.

What a shame down on the jetstreet,
That we fell for the old country,
Not impressed, man, we got ripped off,
When we need next, they'll see the next star.

I don't know how, I've made it this far,
It seems like years, I've lost track of time,
What can I say, when you smile and say ...

"Can we make it?
Or you'll fake it,
What you say now,
Can we make it?"

Getting into all that I have seen,
Getting off on everywhere I've been.

Now I'm playing ping pong, on a pub flight,
Drinking Champagne til after midnight,
Oh, we flew high on a sweet dream,
Happy landings, baby, where have you been?

I've been getting into all that I have seen,
Getting off on everywhere I've been.

Back to L.A. in the sunshine,
After Denver when we got snowblind,
All the palm trees on the skyline,
She said, "Have a good day,
Make sure you'll have a good time."
(Have a good time ...)
