The Mayor of North Hollywood Park
by Ruby friedman orchestra

Brotherman
You were my friend
Haven't seen you for a year
We went to Patty's on Riverside
Then I dropped you here
Where're all your friends now
You shared your food
They beat you up
I guess jealous that all your tales were true
You knew
Lionel Hampton, Whitney Houston
Had a house a wife and two dogs but couldn't drink in peace

 Talked to a man with five calculators and a long, flowy beard
He works on chalk equations like his time's runnin' outta here
The only one who's sober and whose tent doesn't smell
He knows that he knows too much
I promise not to tell about you and the night
The sirens came and made you take your leave

 I'm lookin' for the Mayor of North Hollywood Park
He went on a bender
I came here on a lark
I'm not very hopeful
You see he'd lost his spark
I'm looking for the Mayor of North Hollywood Park

 Sometimes when I play guitar a little bird sits close by
He gives me messages from the penthouse on Mount Sinai
He says, "Hey Rubes, for old time's sake go fuck yourself, I'm fine!
Stop your crying I got the best seats now with my dad
IN THE SKY!"

 I'm looking for the Mayor of North Hollywood Park
