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]
