Gonna be free, one day we gon' fly
To the other side, golden ride
Ocean breeze, haze in the sky
Livin’ like a champion up in the canyon

Smile on the beach if we could only reach it
Gangster paradise on the bus
Stars in the pavement, red ropes sayin'
You will never be one of us

Angeles, oh angeles, angeles, angeles
Angeles, oh angeles, angeles, los angeles

Ooooo, take my soul, I wanna let you
Ooooo, wish that I had never met you

Gonna be free, one day we gon' fly
To the other side, golden ride
Ocean breeze, haze in the sky
Livin’ like a champion up in the canyon

Night bloomin' jasmine, waited on a has been
Livin' in the street light day by day
Houses on stilts and ancient hills
With eyes that have seen this a million ways

Angeles, oh angeles, angeles, angeles
Angeles, oh angeles, angeles, los angeles

Ooooo, take my soul, I wanna let you
Ooooo, wish that I had never met you

This place and I, we have an affair
It's beautiful and violent and full of despair
This place and I, we have an affair
It's beautiful and violent and full of despair

Ooooo, take my soul, I wanna let you
Ooooo, wish that I had never met you

Angeles, oh angeles, angeles, angeles
Angeles, oh angeles, angeles, los angeles

Angeles, oh angeles, angeles, angeles
Angeles, oh angeles, angeles, los angeles

(Sole, sole, ya-yo)
(Shine down on me)

(Take my soul, I wanna let you)
(Wish that I had never met you)
