Rooming house on venice beach.

Rooming house on venice beach.

It was a rooming house on venice beach

Nice and cheap

A radiator and a sagging bed

On which to sleep

I didn't lock it

Who would want my cheap guitar

And that t-shirt in those paper bags

Naw, naw.

The ancient world was in my reach

From my rooming house on venice beach.

It was rough rough rough

With ancient rustic hippie stuff

It was cheap cheap cheap

Nowadays i hear that rents are steep

It was eerie, eerie, eerie

Followers of watts and leary

You could walk walk walk

To marina del rey by the dock

Oh the ancient world was in my reach

From my rooming house on venice beach.

Rooming house on venice beach

Rooming house on venice beach

Oh wa, oh wa, oh wa

Well rooming house on venice beach

It was a rooming house on venice beach

About half a block

To the ancient sea which i could reach

With half a walk

The ancient weird guy in his toga

Staff in hand

The ancient bearded guy doing yoga

On the sand

Oh the ancient world was in my reach

From my rooming house on venice beach

It was cheap cheap cheap

Nowadays i hear that rents are steep

It was rough rough rough

With ancient rustic hippie stuff

It was wild wild wild

You're never gonna call it mild

Hip hip

I could move and not make a second trip

The ancient world was in my reach

From my rooming house on venice beach

Let's go...

Rooming house on venice beach

Rooming house on venice beach

Oh wa, oh wa, oh wa

Rooming house on venice beach

It was a rooming house on venice beach

All screwed up

Half a block from the ancient drunk guys

Passing the cup

Half a block from the bearded wierd guys

Singing flat

Half a block from the wierdo wierd guys

Passing the hat

And the ancient world was in my reach

From my rooming house on venice beach.

Rooming house on venice beach

Rooming house on venice beach

Oh wa, oh wa, oh wa

Rooming house on venice beach

Oh the ancient world was in my reach

From my rooming house on venice beach

It was a rooming house on venice beach

Where i was

Half a block i love that place

Just because

Well i didn't want it

Who would want my bag of crap

So i never locked the old screen door

I just let it flap

Oh the ancient world was in my reach

From my rooming house on venice beach

It was rough rough rough

With ancient rustic hippie stuff

It was eerie, eerie, eerie

Followers of watts and leary

It was wild and free

And that appealed to me

It was hip hip hip

I could move and not make a second trip.

The ancient world was in my reach

From my rooming house on venice beach

Rooming house on venice beach

Rooming house on venice beach

Oh wa, oh wa, oh wa
