Beacon

I got friends in New York City
 'Cause everyone I know left town
 That's the place your day lit dreams go
 Where you can't see the sun go down
 Hold your head up, you're a beacon
 You pull me northward in my car
 You don't have to hit the big time, baby
 We know who you are

 I got friends in LA County
 Where the hillsides shine like stars
 And the people float like gold dust
 Through the red rope district bars
 Hold your head up, you're a beacon
 You pull me westward in my car
 You don't have to hit the big time, baby
 We know who you are
 Hold your head up, you're a beacon
 Don't let them think you've come that far
 You were always standing in the spotlight, baby
 We know who you are
 ♪
 It's getting cold out on that big lake
 And the water's painted blue
 Don't let the skyline fool you, baby
 You know what to do
 You know what to do
 You know what to do
