You're fresh off the bus here in North Hollywood
You walk down Magnolia to Lankershim
Things are a bit busier than they were back in Idaho
You wonder how much farther to the Econo Inn
You're finally in LA, let the dreaming begin
But right now you're hungry and tired
And there's too much new to take in
Fast forward a few weeks
You've found yourself some roommates and a job
It's two bedroom in Valley Village and you're working over at the mall
You're finally in LA, let the dreaming begin
But right now there's rent to make
And there's too much new to take in
Dream dream while you're sleeping
Dream again when you wake
You'll have plenty of time for dreaming
So dream for dreaming's sake
Here comes your big break
They've finally called you back
Years of hoping and waiting
Dead ends and side tracks
You're finally in LA, let the dreaming begin
But right now you're not feeling well
And there's too much new to take in
Dream dream while you're sleeping
Dream again when you wake
You'll have plenty of time for dreaming
So dream for dreaming's sake
Dream dream while you're sleeping
Dream again when you wake
You'll have plenty of time for dreaming
So dream for dreaming's sake
You've found yourself a partner and now you've a couple kids
Buying's better than renting
Now it's time to find new digs
You're finally in LA, let the dreaming begin
But right now there's mouths to feed
And there's too much new to take in
Dream dream while you're sleeping
Dream again when you wake
You'll have plenty of time for dreaming
So dream for dreaming's sake
Dream dream while you're sleeping
Dream again when you wake
You'll have plenty of time for dreaming
So dream for dreaming's sake
