[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I'm way deep into nothing special
Riding the crest of a wave breaking just west of Hollywood

[Verse 2]
Swingin' so hard
We burned right through the summer
'Til the axis of pain/pleasure shears 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
