West of Hollywood

Brother in tears
 Look at this chain of sorrows
 Stretching all the way from here and now to hell and gone
 I was Kid Clean
 She was Anne de Siècle
 Just a thrill away from punching through to the cosmic wow
 It started out good
 Then it got lots better
 Makin' up the rules as we went along
 But with a business like this
 There's a gnarly downside
 I'm way deep into nothing special
 Riding the crest of a wave breaking just west of Hollywood

 Swingin' so hard
 We burned right through the summer
 Till the axis of pain/pleasure sheared the arc of desire
 From the Rebus affair
 To the streets of Culver City
 Places and events slip below the horizon line
 
 Now at this time
 Into our pretty story
 The truth compels us to bring a certain name
 Meet if you will

 She reached out for my hand
 While I watched myself lurch across the room
 And I almost got there
 I almost got there
 I almost got there
 Almost got there
 Look in my eyes
 Don't you see the core is frozen?
 You can't ask me to access the dreams I don't have now
 Sadly for us
 Our little talk is over
 So together we'll endure the tyranny of the disallowed
 
 Don't you love Port Blanc
 When Hooterie is over?
 When the girls get easy and the crowds are gone
 A weekend of bliss
 Then the rainy season
 I'm way deep into nothing special
