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 to 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, good deal

Digging our own way out of every prison

With my brain 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 ray I got this real need to pray

Come find me where the vampires

All keep their heads on display

I'm a new man living in a 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 bullwhips and stones

Without a hint of complaint

I met God in dogtown isn't it a funny thing

To know you've died? Dove's cried

Angels 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 hoping 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 disillusion
