It Got You Too

A sediment LA morning
The telegenic inquistion
Time once again to put on
My sunny disposition

Last night's party had some industry
Droppin' names like flies
I saw you laughing, smilin'
Caught up in their lies

It got you too
It got you too
The chicken hawks clutchin' deep and hard
Scopin' out Wilshire Boulevard
It got you too
It got you too
With the company pimps in Gucci suits
Hanging out at Spago's bearing fruit
It got you too.

I spent the morning fluffing these girls
Shining cogs in the machinery
Lined up for a chance to work as
Part of the scenery

Tracing my steps through the sunshine
And the fake orgasmic cries
You waiting your take in sprayed on tears
Caught up in their lies

It got you too
It got you too
Like some angel who fell asleep too soon
stepping over dead bodies in the Viper Room
It got you too
It got you too
Playin' carefree baby and makeshift flirt
While you're takin' peyote in the desert
It got you too

This morning, you'd swear
you'd see your body shine
Over the drama around you baby
Despite my better judgement
I believed you at the time

I remember us plotting and planning
Gonna plunder this scene
Now I watch you getting greased down
Wishin' you'd escape this dream

I've done my bit for the cause
Goin' legit for the last time
So, with my 8 x 10 in hand,
Like a junkie, I stand in line

It got me too
It got me too
Once again, I'm enacting a desperate plea
For some horny camera to set me free
It got me too
It got me too
I'm a pawn in some producer's pearl
Wrapped up in the windshield of the world
