Janis Ian
La Cienega Boulevard
[Verse 1]
She stares at the cars, holds up a sign
Says "Hungry Need Work", no one minds
Sunny day here in LA
Past the restaurants, the galleries
Past the shelter and the Frosty Freeze
Shopping mall, graffiti wall
Man, this town has got it all

[Chorus]
La la la la la la la
La Cienega Boulevard (Yeah, yeah)
La la la la la la la
La Cienega Boulevard

[Verse 2]
The Beverly Center smiles down on me
Billboards are my destiny
Broken dreams and postcard scenes
They got my favorite station on the radio
Playing all the golden oldiеs that I used to know
Remembеr when?
We were really cool back then

[Chorus]
La la la la la la la
La Cienega Boulevard
La la la la la la la
La Cienega Boulevard
[Bridge]
You're chasing the scene
You know what I mean
It's all just routine
So keep your nose clean
'Cause times are getting hard
Here on La Cienega Boulevard
On the boulevard (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
La la la la la la
La Cienega Boulevard (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
La la la la la la
La Cienega Boulevard (Boulevard, boulevard)
