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 nothing
But together we can
Make it real (Big 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 Rey
I've 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 an 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 a saint
I'll be the voice of restraint
I'll take their bull whips and stones
Without a hint of complaint
I meet God in Dogtown
Isn't a funny thing to know
You've died (Doves cried)
Angles wept
Just as if I was a brother
And sang the blues
For my bride
I've been keeping time
In a skeleton soul band
Don't it make your heart
Just bleed (Indeed)
Keeping my nose clean
Hopin' I can crash land
Back where I've got mouths
To feed
I'll be home
Once I've paid
For my confusion
You'll see me in the fires
Of your own disolution
