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
