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]
