Walking in Vancouver - deb... or whatever. (Walking In Memphis - Marc Cohn) Put on my black trench coat And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the LA blues In the middle of the pouring rain A. D. Skinner - won't you look down over me? Yeah I got a pair of handcuffs And I'm out on the balcony Chorus: When I was walking in Vancouver I was running flat out in 3 inch heels Now I'm blading in L.A. I think the palm trees are too surreal Saw the ghost of Pendrell on Union Avenue Followed him up to the gates of the Hoover And I watched him walk right through Now security did not see him They just hovered in their little room And there's a pretty little thing Waiting for CSM Down in the Pentagon Room. (Chorus) We had Flukeman in the sewers Duane Barry in mid-air Now Baywatch Barbies, and tiny Speedos You know we haven't got a prayer But boy we had a prayer in Vancouver Mark Snow plays piano Every night up in Hollywood And they brought me down to see him And they asked me if I would-- Do a number on him And I 'sang' with all my might And he said-- "Tell me are you a Phile child?" And I said "Sir, I'm GABAL tonight!" (Chorus) Put on my black trench coat And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the LA blues In the middle of the pouring rain Touched down in the land of the LA blues In the middle of... ... 400 ... ...quakes. With many apologies to Marc Cohen, deb... or whatever.Author: deb...or whatever | Back to Filks | |
