DESCRIPTION:
LA RIver

Butane sunrise skyline
slow drone of garbage trucks
occasional cries of sirens ride
carbon monoxide gust
cockroach crosses the table
trees spill flowers on the street
the ocean breeze is cool now
but you can already feel the heat

Every breath is a turn around the corner
everybody's got something to lose
tomorrow I'll start all over
but today I've got the LA blues

Turquoise desert glare
indigo stare of a cop
aquamarine coffee shops
ominous sunset drops
sea shines ultramarine
chills to wintergreen
magenta nectarine
in a puddle of gasoline

Every breath is a turn around the corner
everybody's got nothing to lose
tomorrow I'll start all over
but today I've got the LA blues

Tar, cars, skyscrapers and stars
feeling so alone
in the shadow of a stucco house
regretfully stoned
coats of a thousand screams behind
walls ten feet high
blue luminous pools
in empty backyards at night
gunshot somewhere outside
there's only so long you can hide
there's only so long you can hide

There's a fire
can you feel it?

Holly Woodlawn:
It was 1987
and Andy had just died
and when Andy died
New York died
so I went to Los Angeles California
seeking the sun
seeking palm trees
seeking life
seeking moviedom
stardom
and what did I get
what did I end up with
smog
slides
Laguna
houses sliding down hills
going
to auditions and landing with no parts
but let me tell you
once you're stuck in L.A.
you'll always be in L.A.
remember that
you will never ever leave L.A.
