Brazzaville - Teenage Summer Days

Down on Pico and Fedora Back in 1983 All the cholos on the corner Hid their pistols in the trees El Funny Clown lived off of Sunset On a street called Benton Way There were blood satins on the sidewalk But the rain washed them away On the mean streets of L.A. All those teenage summer days We took the bus way down to Venice Went bodysurfing in the waves Staring out at the horizon On those teenage summer days On the mean streets of L.A. All those teenage summer days My daddy was a trucker Hauling freight 12 hours a day Sometimes he'd take me down to Vernon Or the shipyards in South Bay On those teenage summer days On the mean streets of L.A.
