Venice Beach Lyrics

Venice Beach is poppin'

Like live shrimp dropped on a hot wok

Hucksters, hustlers and hawkers

Set up their boardwalk shops

Home for all the homeless, hopeless, well heeled, and deranged

Still, nothing here seems out of place or strange.
Brian Wilson - Venice Beach - http://motolyrics.com/brian-wilson/venice-beach-lyrics.html
There's an old smudge of a Beatnik by the bay

Lookin' like a dog who's had his day

Like a dream, he drifts away

He'd like to go out on the Pier to hear the reedy carousel

It's got a melody that sets you free, and says

Let's sit a spell, just to hear the heartbeat in L.A.
