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
