Dogtown

There's a snakeskin bedroom Bang in the middle of a funny little place called hell (oh, well) Everybody there's got trouble by the dozen It's a lonely little place to dwell Hope I don't make the trip through the floor You told me once I want it but you wanted it more I know kung-fu, you know nothin' but together we can make it real (good deal) Kickin' our own way out of every prison with my brains and your high heels Love your myth coupled with your vast ocean Take my eyes as the prize for your devotion Oh, take me to El Ray, I got this real need to pray Come find me where the vampires all keep their heads on display I'm a new man livin' in my old skin I've been dead to you ever since Berlin Oh teacher, I'm restless Just say the word and I'll be blameless Make me insane I'll be the voice of restrain I'll take the bullwhips and stones without a hint of complaint I met God in Dogtown Isn't it a funny thing to know you died? (doves cried) Angels wept as if I was a brother, and sang the blues for my bride I've been keepin' time skeleton soul band Don't it make your heart just bleed (indeed) Keepin' my nose clean Hopin' I can crash-land back where I got mouths to feed I'll be home once I paid for my confusion You'll see me in the fires of your own disillusion
