H - Better Dreams Lyrics
He works hard for his moneySpent it all on his carRents a one-room apartment that no one's ever seenBut he makes love on the back seatTo the girl of his dreamsShe wears high heels and lycraShows off her curvesShe did aerobics and surgeryKeep 'em well preservedShe thinks, this guy, LeoSeems like he's got it allHe's got a job in the businessHe says he'll make a few callsHe's got friends in high placesAll he has to do is phoneShe bites her lips as he takes herHe makes love like he's aloneBreak the bad news to the angel in the morningHe takes the car to the car washWhen the shine goes awayHe leaves her smudge-eyed and strandedIt's a beautiful day....There's a man in the valleyHe met on Ocean WayHe's got everything Leo dreamsHe's got a yacht in the bayLeo drives down to see himWith an idea or two'Could make him big in the businessTurn the lies into truthsBut the car don't mean nothinCause the man's worldly wiseHe sees the white teeth and the sun tanWith nobody insideI'm a guest of this cityI'm by the pool on the roofPoolside is prettyYou can feel the earth move...This is a town full of LeosThe sun shines on the carsAnd the buses of tourists do the homes of the stars'Hotel California' goes around in my headAnd the folks who are loaded keep a gun by the bedBut you can't help but notice....The poor wind up dead.And the kids on the east side watch the cars going byThey never could have if they worked all their livesTake a gun and go shoppingTake a drug for the painAnd the pain goes awayIt's a beautiful dayGod bless these star-worn streetsShine on these perfect daysStretch out on Venice BeachCan we dream better dreams than these
