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
