Rooming House On Venice Beach

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
Rooming house on venice beach
Pensão na Praia de Venice
1-2-1-2-3
Pensão na praia de Venice.
Pensão na praia de Venice.
Era uma pensão na praia de Venice
Boa e barata
Um aquecedor e uma cama murcha
Pra eu poder dormir
Eu não trancava
Quem iria querer minha guitarra vagabunda
E aquela camiseta em sacolas de papel
Nã, nã.
O mundo antigo estava ao meu alcance
Da minha pensão na praia de Venice.
Era duro, duro, duro
Com coisas rústicas de hippie antigo
Era barato, barato, barato
Hoje em dia ouço que os aluguéis estão altos
Era estranho, estranho, estranho
Seguidores de Watts e Leary
Você podia andar, andar, andar
Até Marina del Rey pelo cais
Oh, o mundo antigo estava ao meu alcance
Da minha pensão na praia de Venice.
Pensão na praia de Venice
Pensão na praia de Venice
Oh wa, oh wa, oh wa
Bem, pensão na praia de Venice
Era uma pensão na praia de Venice
Cerca de meia quadra
Do mar antigo que eu podia alcançar
Com meia caminhada
O cara esquisito de toga
Cajado na mão
O cara barbudo fazendo yoga
Na areia
Oh, o mundo antigo estava ao meu alcance
Da minha pensão na praia de Venice.
Era barato, barato, barato
Hoje em dia ouço que os aluguéis estão altos
Era duro, duro, duro
Com coisas rústicas de hippie antigo
Era selvagem, selvagem, selvagem
Você nunca vai chamar de suave
Hip hip
Eu podia me mudar e não fazer uma segunda viagem
O mundo antigo estava ao meu alcance
Da minha pensão na praia de Venice.
Vamos lá...
Pensão na praia de Venice
Pensão na praia de Venice
Oh wa, oh wa, oh wa
Pensão na praia de Venice
Era uma pensão na praia de Venice
Toda bagunçada
Meia quadra dos caras bêbados antigos
Passando o copo
Meia quadra dos caras estranhos e barbados
Cantando desafinado
Meia quadra dos caras esquisitos
Passando o chapéu
E o mundo antigo estava ao meu alcance
Da minha pensão na praia de Venice.
Pensão na praia de Venice
Pensão na praia de Venice
Oh wa, oh wa, oh wa
Pensão na praia de Venice
Oh, o mundo antigo estava ao meu alcance
Da minha pensão na praia de Venice.
Era uma pensão na praia de Venice
Onde eu estava
Meia quadra, eu amo aquele lugar
Só por isso
Bem, eu não queria
Quem iria querer minha bolsa de tralhas
Então eu nunca trancava a velha porta de tela
Eu deixava ela balançar
Oh, o mundo antigo estava ao meu alcance
Da minha pensão na praia de Venice.
Era duro, duro, duro
Com coisas rústicas de hippie antigo
Era estranho, estranho, estranho
Seguidores de Watts e Leary
Era selvagem e livre
E isso me atraía
Era hip hip hip
Eu podia me mudar e não fazer uma segunda viagem.
O mundo antigo estava ao meu alcance
Da minha pensão na praia de Venice.
Pensão na praia de Venice
Pensão na praia de Venice
Oh wa, oh wa, oh wa
Pensão na praia de Venice.
