about

For a few years I worked in Culver City; my office was on land that used to be the lot where MGM kept the performing animals, including the lions from its logo.

lyrics

A genius clown owned this hotel he
Sold it to John Wayne
For a dollar bill
Coward cowpoke got named a saint
Clown warned the world
Got kicked out of LA

By the time
You’re climbing up
You’re sliding down

‘Cause the top looks just like
The bottom
Of this town

Doesn’t get cold
Roof is rosy glass
Gotta big tent city under
The overpass
Seems like every other runaway
Has got a
Side hustle in west LA

By the time
You’re climbing up
You’re sliding down

‘Cause the top looks just like
The bottom
Of this town

Doesn’t get cold, no it
Barely rains we
Don’t have a river, just these
Concrete drains
Tides roll out what
Floods sweep away
Genius warned the world and
Got kicked out of LA

And by the time
You’re clawing up
You’re crawling down

‘Cause the top looks like
The bottom
In this town
