Screenwriter's Blues Lyrics - Lust In Phaze: The Best Of Soul Coughing - Soul Coughing

Exits to freeways twisted like knots on the fingers 

Jewels cleaving skin between breasts 

Your Cadillac breathes four hundred horses over blue lines 

You are going to Reseda to make love to a model from Ohio 

Whose real name you don't know 

You spin like the Cadillac was overturning down a cliff on television 

And the radio is on and the radioman is speaking 

And the radioman says women were a curse 

So men built Paramount studios 

And men built Columbia studios and men built 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 

And the radioman says rock and roll lives 

And the radioman says it is a beautiful night out there in Los Angeles 

You live in Los Angeles and you are going to Reseda 

We are all in some way or another going to Reseda someday to die 

And the radioman laughs because the radioman fucks a model too 

Gone savage for teenagers with automatic weapons and boundless love 

Gone savage for teenagers who are aesthetically pleasing 

In other words fly, Los Angeles beckons 

The teenagers to come to her on buses, Los Angeles loves love 

It is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles 

It is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles 

I am going to Los Angeles to build a screenplay about 

Lovers who murder each other 

I am going to Los Angeles to see my own name on a screen 

Five feet long and luminous 

As the radioman says it is 5 a.m. and the sun has charred 

The other side of the world and comeback to us 

And painted the smoke over our heads an imperial violet 

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 you are listening to Los Angeles 

You are listening 

You are listening 

You are listening 

To Los Angeles
