When the Stars Come Out

[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
