X - Big Black X

Memories are gettin' late
Not erased like tape
Not replaced with fake
Drivin' state to altered state
Holdin' foldin ' maps
On another pay phone break
A big black X on a white marquee
A naked Christmas tree on fire
In a Cherokee alley
Silent movie genuflecting dream
Hangin' off bumpers and
Scrapin' off tar and leather
L.A. Riverbed drag strip on acid
And somethin' about a basement

Stay awake and don't get taken
We knew the gutter
Also the Future
Stay awake and don't get taken

Hollywood letters fallin' down
Errol Flynn's abandoned mansion
Scary Hillside guy
Angel dust low-ridin' by
We swam into the Pacific
And Windward intersection
Viet Nan vet I met and cannot forget
Bikers on the 101 and
77 Sunset Strip
Old cars and new scars
78's on cassette tape
After hours blues escape. AM radio dedications
Madison
Lincoln, any old city
A tiny little x on a white marquee

Stay awake and don't get taken
We knew the gutter
Also the Future
Stay awake and don't get taken

Stay awake and don't get taken
We knew the gutter
Also the Future
Stay awake and don't get taken
We knew the gutter
Also the Future
Stay awake and don't get taken
We knew the gutter
Also the Future
Stay awake and don't get taken
We knew the gutter
Also the Future...
