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