Life in L.A.

Story behind the song
In 1996, I wrote this song in one take on the keys with a one beat, drum machine. The song just came out in a babble lyric until the playback, I wrote down what I had said. It was Fantastical. This song started out being 14 minutes long, it had 7 solos. In 2003, I cut it in half to 7 minutes with 3 solos. :) Dave

I FIND MY LIFE,
A CRY, IN THE MIDDLE OF L.A.
CRY INTO THE NIGHT,
FOR EVERY MORNING SITE.
SOMEWHERE TO GO, FAR AWAY.
SOMEONE WHO SAYS, VAN GOGH MY MIND, OH.
I KNOW MY MIND, I WANT TO SAY.
I FIND IT VERY HARD TO STAY.
S O L O 1
.OH, AND I COULDN'T STAY.
SOMEHOW, I FOUND THE WAY OUT.
PEOPLE WONDER, WHAT TO SAY NOW.
FOR YOUR LOVE, FOR YOUR LOVE.
BLIND MEN IN THE MIDDLE,
CRYING LIFE IN THE CITY.
OF YOUR LIFE, YOU WANT TO TRY.
BUT WHEN I SAY, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL,
AND WHEN I PRAY, IT IS MAGICAL.
I TRY TO SAY.
CRY OF ALL THE WEAK PEOPLE,
CRY UP THE MIDTIDE.
CRY OF ALL THE LOVING,
IT'S YOU AND ME IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY.
BUT WHEN I SAY, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL,
AND WHEN I PRAY, IT IS MAGICAL.
MY EYES, HAVE CHANGED.
S O L O 2
YOU ARE IN MY LIFE,
BORN ALIVE AND WAITING.
CRYING LOVE, IN THE MAJOR DAY OF LIFE.
OF MAN LIFE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY, I'VE BEEN AWAKEN NOW.
CHRIST LIVES, AND SATIN, WITH THE
RUN OF OUR LIFE, MY, MY, MY.
BUT WHEN I SAY, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL,
AND WHEN I PRAY, IT IS MAGICAL, I CRY.
S O L O 3
BUT WHEN I SAY, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL,
AND WHEN I PRAY, IT IS MAGICAL, CRY.
AND WHEN I SAY, AND WHEN I PRAY,
IT'S FANTASTICAL.
