Bel air blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Runnin' down a purple shallow, goin' down somewhere
Goin' down the alleyway, lookin' for a dead dog with a custard pie
I am looking for a dildo in the sky
And if I find it soon, I think I'll call the Menendez boys
Chorus:
Think I'll call the Menendez boys
Turnin' on the TV setÃ,Â-Ã,Â-hypnotic neon queen
Rollin' underwater in a green narcotic dream
Buy a big baseball bat, then call up the Rubberman
In plastic frown, blow up this town, think I'll call the Menendez boys
Chorus repeat x3
Coolin' out at Big 51, got a sleepin' bag and a new canteen
Shave my body of every hairÃ,Â-Ã,Â-rub me down with amphetamine
Jump back in my railÃ,Â-Ã,Â-punchin' it I got spooked2
Remove tattoos, the Bel Air bluesÃ,Â-Ã,Â-think I'll call the Menendez boys
Chorus repeat
Livin' on a crooked roadÃ,Â-Ã,Â-like a dust bowl refugee
Crawlin' on the freewayÃ,Â-Ã,Â-cleanin' my teeth with a barbecue comb
You can call me Sam, or you can bark my hole
And you can use my dick for a walkin' pole
Slattery has his wakeÃ,Â-Ã,Â-a boomer in my stash
An angle slide in BaltimoreÃ,Â-Ã,Â-Top 40 pederast
Everybody got another 'nother plan
Everybody got another 'nother land
Never never never never never never never!
Never never never!
Chorus repeat x4
