Under the perfect L.A. skies
The kingdom of the credit card
I watched them all marching by
Down on Pico Boulevard
Every style, every shade
Tributes to the self-made
Waving banners in subtle ways
Down on Pico Boulevard
Pride is on parade
Down on Pico Boulevard
Pride is on parade
Down on Pico Boulevard
Between the need and desire
Balance I just couldn't find
Lost my footing on the wire
And fell right into line
"Let me be somebody
Someone else wants to be"
Lost my joy and humility
Down on Pico Boulevard
Pride is on parade
Down on Pico Boulevard
Waving banners all day
Down on Pico Boulevard
Every night and day
Down on Pico Boulevard
Pride is on parade
Down on Pico Boulevard
Ooh, I got it so bad
Traded You for the have to have
The way I turned, must have made you sad
On Pico Boulevard
Pride
Down on Pico Boulevard
Waving banners all day
Down on Pico Boulevard
Pride is on parade
Down on Pico Boulevard
Got to get away
Down on Pico Boulevard
