Living in LA

a real great offense

some dirty clothes

and a few helmets

-

makes a good team

said the fat man with a mustache

-

a few high notes and a few low notes

too bad Mozart did not know

but Marilyn Manson provoked

-

Boobs, butts, and big bellies

what strippers have in the valley

=

they can run a defensive lineman

or have a cat chased by a dog

and rats can really like the trash

-

birds poo on windshields

and cats poo in their litters

-

reading and relaxing at the beach

seaweed around my ankles

riding a wave on my longboard

-

doing a hang-ten

falling off and breaking my leg

-

it’s television’s biggest night

all artists are dressed in gala

with horsehair dresses and wedding bans

-

why are they so materialistic?

maybe they feel like they’re insufficient

-

makes me want to stay

cause they have a big gimmick

they also have interesting people

-

and all the pretty stars

they get beat up

-

a woman married to the mob

why not be normal

maybe it’s too vacant at her house

-

escape to nirvana

12 gauge another rage

-

the next dimension of clean

is at the urban scene

but everything could go wrong

-

imagine yourself like an old man

going to Disneyland for salvation

-

no one tells you they’re going to kill you

you know what I’m talking about, kid?

the babes in the woods routine

-

your only salvation is to disappear

but keep the sugar-bowl and the car

-

everything is for the taking

when you're a nobody

but someday be anybody

-

I feel like LA

why not Chinese?

-

parking lot black pigeon

karate chop the speedbump

skid marks are red tone

-

sing to me baby

hurt me and make me feel good

-

the spirit of Jimi James and the Blue Flames

lives through the streets of intoxication

and living in a patented trashy circle

-

check the labels

your hope will save the world

-

television really cares

for magnificent fortresses and lavish gardens

with artistry designed for ceilings

-

what a beautiful view from the Getty

out to the stoic city

-

own style of clothing

refuse to wear condoms

how about that protection?

-

believers neglect their appearance

ancestors come for your soul

-

graves of concrete

two burials for the price of one

'cause is the bargain of the month

-

the colors you dream in

rests in the hands of God

-

how much is a body worth?

a pack of cigarettes

or some boots

-

language of silence

I actually got it

-

keep the cool longer

fuses are burning

tricksters are fooling

-

fire to the heart

like an untreatable form of cancer

-

you’re playing a game

snake eyes can be your friend

with a beer in your hand

-

marinated thoughts of distress

of life’s foolish fixes

-
