[Verse 1]
City of the angels[x2]
Walking and talking and laughing
About dreaming the things that you want will work out
People in places where you want to be
I'm lost in the city, who's got the key?

[Chorus]
City of the angels
Oo, I hear you calling me
City of the angels
I've got this feeling that things will work out
I've got this feeling, and there ain't no doubt
I'm holding on, hoping to find
Life in this city can bring peace of mind

[Chorus][x2]

[Verse 2]
Just like, just like it used to be, yeah
City of the angels
I'm going home, home, bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye
Oh, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Yeah, yeah, I'm leaving, leaving
Oo, oo, I'm going home
I'm leaving, leaving

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
