Screenwriter's Blues

I am going to Los Angeles to build a screenplay about
You spin like the Cadillac was overturning down a cliff on television
The teenagers to come to her on buses, Los Angeles loves love
In other words fly, Los Angeles beckons
And the radio is on and the radioman is speaking
It is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
Lovers who murder each other
It is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
And the radioman laughs because the radioman fucks a model too
You are listening

And men built Columbia studios and men built Los Angeles
It is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
You are going to Reseda to make love to a model from Ohio
You are listening
And you are listening to Los Angeles

It is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
It is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
It is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
And the radioman says it is a beautiful night out there
You are listening
And the radioman says rock and roll lives

Gone savage for teenagers with automatic weapons and boundless love
Five feet long and luminous

I am going to Los Angeles to see my own name on a screen
So men built Paramount studios
And the radioman says women were a curse
It is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles

And the radioman says it is a beautiful night out there in Los Angeles
Whose real name you don't know
Your Cadillac breathes four hundred horses over blue lines
We are all in some way or another going to Reseda someday to die
And painted the smoke over our heads an imperial violet
As the radioman says it is 5 a.m. and the sun has charred

The other side of the world and comeback to us
You live in Los Angeles and you are going to Reseda
Gone savage for teenagers who are aesthetically pleasing
