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
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
