Well he used to be
A tailor
Sew those suits so fine
And he never heard of failure
And he never tasted wine
He used to be a leader
When he had someone to lead
And he used to be a father
When he had some mouths to feed
Yeah, when he had some mouths to feed

And they say it never rains in LA County
But it gets cold enough to wish you had a few
And he laughs tonight and says
"I finally found me
A room with a view
How about you?"

He was living in a castle
That he built with his own hands
Out of newspaper and cardboard
He was living off the land
(Living off the land)
Living off the land
(Living off the land)
He was living off the land

And they say it never rains in LA County
But it gets cold enough to wish you had a few
And he laughs tonight and says
"I finally found me
A room with a view
Yeah, how about you?"
