[00:06.30] .
[00:45.74] I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
[00:53.35] I was staring in my empty coffee cup
[01:00.53] I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin'
[01:08.35] And all the salty margaritas in L.A.
[01:13.97] I'm gonna drink 'em up
[01:16.17] .
[01:18.02] And if California slides into the ocean
[01:25.39] Like the mystics and statistics say it will
[01:32.14] I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill
[01:41.57] .
[01:46.19] Don't the sun look angry through the trees
[01:53.93] Don't the trees look like crucified thieves
[02:01.61] Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
[02:10.53] Heaven help the one who leaves
[02:15.22] .
[02:20.33] Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands
[02:27.62] And I'm trying to find a boy who understands me
[02:34.80] But except in dreams you're never really free
[02:41.78] Don't the sun look angry at me
[02:46.85] .
[02:51.35] I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
[02:58.34] I was listening to the air conditioner hum
[03:04.96] It went mmmmmm..
[03:19.31] .
[03:19.61]
[03:48.49] Look away down Gower Avenue, look away....
[04:00.78] .
[04:01.67]
