From the recording My Kind Of Heartbreak
Lyrics
Venice Beach
L.A., Venice Beach, everyone's a star here
L.A., Venice Beach-did I lose me in the moonlight with waves dancing at my feet?
Did the warning you were throwing slip past me as I turned to become a star?
City with no soul, winds without a still-
Beneath the sunny surface rage a thousand stormy wills,
that haggle over egos and these funny little pills
that make you the best you can be
What do you do when your dream drives you crazy and the sunshine's way too bright? Can't get lazy if you're gonna get famous; they tell me it can happen overnight so-
I'm fighting stronger because I can;
I'm fighting dirty because I am still in the game, don't you understand?
Every time you kick me down, I come right back up again
Every time you kick me down, I come right back up again
Sun's up; surfs down
Today is the day I conquer Tinseltown
There's people I should be sleeping with, parties where I need to show
It's not about the talent, but about who you know
So I'm bored by the Boardwalk, but I'm on TV!
Strung out over coffee and people I don't need
If you got a hole in your soul, this is the best place to be
Everyone in LA knows what it's like to be real hungry
What do you do when your dream drives you crazy and the sunshine's way too bright? Can't get lazy if you're gonna get famous; they tell me it can happen overnight so-
I'm fighting stronger because I can;
I'm fighting dirty because I am still in the game, don't you understand?
Every time you kick me down, I come right back up again
Every time you kick me down, I come right back up again
