LIZ PHAIR LYRICS - Dogs Of L. A

"Dogs Of L. A."



The canyon air is like a breath of fresh L. A.

I was a Star Trek crew member

With my Beatle boots and my Super-8

And I raced you to the top,

The camera gets a stuttered shot of

Me approaching the painted shrine.



I kissed the Buddha and made him cry

I kissed the Buddha and made him cry,

Georgie, I'm your friend!

And the shit brown reservoir

Is a testament to the dogs of L. A.

They hold the place like the Mafia and say,

Run me round again.



The sawed off tree-trunks stand among the living palms

You were beaming as I focused in and I panned along

And I raced you to the top

Kicking snakes up from dusty rocks

Young Abe Vigoda plays Frankenstein



I kissed the Buddha and made him cry

I kissed the Buddha and made him cry,

Georgie, I'm your friend!

And the shit brown reservoir

Is a testament to the dogs of L. A., they

Hold the place like the Mafia and say,

Run me round again.



I wanna go again.

And the shit brown reservoir

Is a testament to the dogs of L. A.

They hold the place like the Mafia and say,

Run me round again.
