Steely Dan West of Hollywood Lyrics:
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]
