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