[Verse]
A
Down the street with the Kosher shops
D B
Past the rummage yards with the antique props
A
Beauty queens and homesick harlots
D B
All line up in the LA gauntlet
A
It's the corner where dreams are made
D B
Where flaws are fixed up with pills and powder
A
The beginning of success and failure
D B A
At 200 South La Brea
A
Changed her name and headed to the city
D B
Took out that loan and bought herself a Mini
A
Recites lines at the grocery store and then
D B
Quotes old movies at table 4
A
They say: "Can you sing?" and "Can you cry?" and
D B
"Will you take off your top if the price is right?"
A
"Do you smoke?" and "Do you drink?"
D B
And "Do you wash your spoons in the bathroom sink?"
A
These are questions
D B
At 200 South La Brea
A
Obsessions
D B
At 200 South La Brea
