Venice, California Known then as "Venice, Slum By the Sea" There's no need to wear these shades when I drive I need to see the leap before the stride There's so much more that can happen I'm sure that you can imagine I live around here Let me show you how to walk it, stop the traffic Them two legs will get you right for action with good brain That get you all the answers That get you all the cash and fashion, just bat your lashes and Tell me where you wanna go But I don't really think that it could get much better The city I love, city I love, city I love You tellin' me you wanna break free, I bet you never Bet you never Powder your nose, love Smoke if you want to Put your feet in the water The city belongs to you girl It's all for you Tell me where you wanna go (It's all for you) So when you're living the dream is it hard to see Does your heart beat heavenly I think it's much more than the green leaf but it helps of course There's only one season Can you believe the way that they talk about my paradise We don't need that kind of vibe, no no Don't tell me where you're from girl Tell me where you wanna get to The city I love, city I love, city I love You wanna break free on me, I bet you never Bet you never Powder your nose, love Smoke if you want to Put your feet in the water The city belongs to you girl It's all for you Don't tell me where you're from girl Tell me where you wanna get to Put your feet in the water The city belongs to you girl It's all for you Tell me where you wanna go (It's all for you)
