lyrics

I’m another groupie wannabe;
Flick your cigarette & wish me well, baby.
I tried to write a different song,
But all the words just came out wrong.

Take your rock & roll and burn it to the ground.
Take me to LA, and there you can lay me down.
Take it all and pound your fists to the sand till your screams no longer make a single sound.
Take me to LA, and there you can lay me down.

I’m another somewhat pretty face you sort of meet,
Melting into splinters beneath celebrity feet.
I tried to make something of myself,
But all I could find was a shell.

Take your rock & roll and burn it to the ground.
Take me to LA, and there you can lay me down.
Take it all and pound your fists to the sand till your screams no longer make a single sound.
Take me to LA, and there you can lay me down.

You can lay me down.

You can lay me down.

Take me to LA, and there you can lay me down.

about

L. $hamPain Texas

Sounds like... Howard Hughes’ mind on a steamy summer night in 1936, electrified with champaign-soaked bubbles & all of his neurons synapsing endlessly between light & dark, Las Vegas & solitude, being the predator & being the prey.
