sickly palm trees cough at the sky

leftover props from a real estate scheme

Debbi’s savin’ up for a pair of double-ds

John Denver muzak in a chinese restaurant

you fill up my senses like a plate of szechuan chicken

who says skin cancer’s not a communicable disease?

have you seen the well-demographed

headin’ down the 10 in a hovercraft

hellbent for pleather

have you seen the collagen-lipped

up and down the Sunset Strip

not even God’s art director

could have made this weather better

better step aside, outta the key limelight

a mite too bright for the little people

sweatin’ the rent are the little people

police searchlights poke at the ground

every bedtime sounds like the fall of Saigon

Paulo’s director says, “Get on your knees”

headshots of nobodies on the dry cleaner wall

crack deals in the sauna at the West Hollywood Y

all the wanna-needa-gottabes are making the scene

Last seen steppin’ aside, outta the key limelight

a mite too bright for the little people

sweatin’ the rent are the little people

another starfall another a-list funeral

and all the hearses play “La Cucharacha”

well even the sun dies in the west

and this is about as west as it gets

nobody’s from here and nobody came together

git along li’l doggie before you’re tomorrow’s leather

get her taking her place inside the key limelight

a mite too bright for the little people

and she really wants to thank all the little people

fade out

fade out

fade out
