Skeleton Key
I came out of Serrano at the top of Los Feliz and felt sad
Because the hedges and the desert flowers smelled of the sea
And the haze in the hollow streets couldn't obscure
The million pilgrim lantern rivers the gold that drew the
Spaniards hither in their eternal melancholy
And that something of their sadness remained in the hibiscus trees
That had fallen on my ears the ghosts of them long shook down
But the doors unlocked remain
You will meet a weary traveler
You won't know their name
They'll ask you for the answer
But you show them the skeleton key
You will meet the goddess near the river
She waits alone till 9:15
Amid the million coral statues
By the gate with the skeleton key
Don't be late
Because the hedges and the desert flowers smelled of the sea
And the haze in the hollow streets couldn't obscure
The million pilgrim lantern rivers the gold that drew the
Spaniards hither in their eternal melancholy
And that something of their sadness remained in the hibiscus trees
That had fallen on my ears the ghosts of them long shook down
But the doors unlocked remain
You will meet a weary traveler
You won't know their name
They'll ask you for the answer
But you show them the skeleton key
You will meet the goddess near the river
She waits alone till 9:15
Amid the million coral statues
By the gate with the skeleton key
Don't be late
