West of hollywood lyrics

Artist  : Steely dan 
Song : 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 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]
