I don't want to leave Mar Vista Worse off than I found it I'll take the leap of least resistance Prometheus unbounded There is no view of the ocean Anywhere around here Landscape void of mood or motion West L.A. the backyard frontier Mar Vista emblazoned with malaise Dr. Demento the soundtrack of our days We'll throw a party a barbecue in hell Still be a wasteland But we'll be too wasted to tell 'Cause when we party in Mar Vista baby Everyone's high as a kite If there's a party in Mar Vista darling It goes on all night But at first light You face the reality Of living unforgiving In prefabricated spite Welcome to Nowheresville Pico & Sepulveda . . . We stumble our way to Rancho Park To find some soulless companions after dark It's not Mar Vista but close enough for qualms Things could be worse though At least we're not living in Palms 'Cause when we party in Mar Vista baby Everyone's high as a kite If there's a party in Mar Vista darling It goes on all night But at first light You face the reality Of summer smog and dumb-ass dogs (Some of those bitches bite) Welcome to Nowheresville Pico & Sepulveda . . . All the stucco All the sameness All the semi-urban lameness Wall-to-wall (Like all the carpets) Nowhere near La Brea Tar Pits All the laundry All the tennis Ashen bogs like death on Venice Dollhouse shacks and matchbox rentals Icky kitschy incidentals Make them godforsaken and removed from sight But at first light You face the reality Of crappy bars and family cars And sprinklers on all night Welcome to Nowheresville Pico & Sepulveda . . .
