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 Siecle
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 an gnarly downside


CHORUS:
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

Doctor Warren Kruger

CHORUS


She reached out for my hand
While I watched myself lurch across the room

And I almost got there

Look in my eyes

Can'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

CHORUS
