Bobs - Santa Ana Woman lyrics
rate meThe next thing I knew, there was a pain in my head like<br />
My sinuses were cracking. The Santa Ana winds had come<br />
Back, and the whole city of L.A. was acting like it had<br />
PMS. I heard high heels on the linoleum floor of the outer<br />
Office. She came in wearing a pair of clam diggers that<br />
Had obviously never been to a beach, and a halter top that<br />
Had been in a dryer for three weeks on high. My contact<br />
Lenses popped out and went looking for water. She said<br />
She'd give me three hundred clams if I helped her find<br />
Her uncle...<br />
"Sure, baby."<br />
So I went to her apartment at eight<br />
to get a down payment of clams<br />
I knocked on her door<br />
There was no answer<br />
I knocked again, hard this time<br />
The door swung ajar..it wasn't a pretty sight<br />
It looked like a moonscape<br />
The plants were all brown and shriveled and the leaves<br />
were falling off her banana fern<br />
The Pup and Taco I'd had for lunch<br />
was doing lesson three from Arthur Murray<br />
I ran to the bathroom, but she was there...<br />
Out cold<br />
Indiscreet<br />
In the flesh<br />
In the tub<br />
Surrounded by countless empty bottles and jars<br />
of skin care lotion<br />
She was so slippery I couldn't pick her up<br />
I had to slap her around to bring her to<br />
Her eyelids fluttered, she looked at me<br />
And I saw<br />
In the eyes of my Santa Ana Woman<br />
In the eyes of my Santa Ana Woman<br />
In the eyes of my Santa Ana Woman<br />
We spent the next three days<br />
raising the humidity in her apartment<br />
And then she got a call from the Amazon<br />
It was her uncle<br />
She didn't even bother to pack the chapstick<br />
The next thing I knew she was gone and the smog was back<br />
And I can't help but wonder:<br />
What made her think I was a detective?<br />
In the eyes of my Santa Ana Woman<br />
In the eyes of my Santa Ana Woman<br />
In the eyes of my Santa Ana Woman
