West Of Hollywood Lyrics - Steely Dan

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 Siècle 

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 a gnarly downside 

I'm way deep into nothing special 

Riding the crest of a wave breaking just west of Hollywood

NEW SONG: Ed Sheeran - 'BLOW' Lyrics ft. Chris Stapleton & Bruno Mars 

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 

Dr. Warren Kruger 

I'm way deep into nothing special 

Riding the crest of a wave breaking just west of Hollywood 

She reached out for my hand 

While I watched myself lurch across the room 

And I almost got there 

I almost got there 

I almost got there 

Almost got there 

Photos 

Look in my eyes 

Don'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 

I'm way deep into nothing special 

Riding the crest of a wave breaking just west of Hollywood 

I'm way deep into nothing special
