Jackson Browne: "Culver Moon" Lyrics

I live in a small town . . . deep in la

About five miles north of where the lakers play

Everybody heres from someplace else

Working all together just like santas elves



Baby, culver me

And Ill culver you

When the streets are shining with the smoggy dew

When the lights are glowing with the mists of june

And the whole world is lit up by the culver moon



Baby dont worry bout angelyne

She aint the prettiest thing Ive ever seen

Nothing she wears ever fits her right

And her complexion is just a little too tight

And the way she looks down from so high above

Makes me think the poor childs never been in love



Baby, culver me

And Ill culver you

When the streets are shining with the smoggy dew

When the lights are glowing with the mists of june

And the whole world is lit up by the culver moon



Baby Im going to love you til the stars come down

til they park their limos and they walk to town

til the l.a. river overflows its banks

til the whole alternative nation bows its knobby head in thanks

til the fish are jumping in ballona creek

til the earth is inherited by the meek



Baby, culver me

And Ill culver you

When the streets are shining with the smoggy dew

When the lights are glowing with the mists of june

And the whole world is illuminated by the culver moon



Under the rainbow and behind versailles

From the aisles of fedco to the 405

From mgm to veterans park

Way down at chippendales fumblin in the dark

Where the ghostly specter of howard hughes

Hovers in the smoke of a thousand bar-b-ques



Baby, culver me

And Ill culver you

When the streets are shining with the smoggy dew

When the lights are glowing with the mists of june

And the whole world is lit up by the culver moon
