Rooming House On Venice Beach |
It was a rooming house on venice beach |
Nice and cheap |
A radiator and a sagging bed |
On which to sleep |
I didn’t lock it |
Who would want my cheap guitar |
And that t-shirt in those paper bags |
Naw, naw |
The ancient world was in my reach |
From my rooming house on venice beach |
It was rough rough rough |
With ancient rustic hippie stuff |
It was cheap cheap cheap |
Nowadays i hear that rents are steep |
It was eerie, eerie, eerie |
Followers of Watts and Leary |
You could walk walk walk |
To Marina Del Rey by the dock |
Oh the ancient world was in my reach |
From my rooming house on venice beach |
It was a rooming house on venice beach |
About half a block |
To the ancient sea which I could reach |
With half a walk |
The ancient weird guy in his toga |
Staff in hand |
The ancient bearded guy doing yoga |
On the sand |
Oh the ancient world was in my reach |
From my rooming house on venice beach |
It was cheap cheap cheap |
Nowadays I hear that rents are steep |
It was rough rough rough |
With ancient rustic hippie stuff |
It was wild wild wild |
You’re never gonna call it mild |
Hip hip |
I could move and not make a second trip |
The ancient world was in my reach |
From my rooming house on venice beach |
It was a rooming house on venice beach |
All screwed up |
Half a block from the ancient drunk guys |
Passing the cup |
Half a block from the bearded wierd guys |
Singing flat |
Half a block from the wierdo wierd guys |
Passing the hat |
And the ancient world was in my reach |
From my rooming house on venice beach |
[Hook} |
It was a rooming house on venice beach |
Where I was |
Half a block I love that place |
Just because |
Well I didn’t want it |
Who would want my bag of crap |
So i never locked the old screen door |
I just let it flap |
Oh the ancient world was in my reach |
From my rooming house on venice beach |
It was rough rough rough |
With ancient rustic hippie stuff |
It was eerie, eerie, eerie |
Followers of watts and leary |
It was wild and free |
And that appealed to me |
It was hip hip hip |
I could move and not make a second trip |
The ancient world was in my reach |
From my rooming house on venice beach |
