Liz said in a 1995 interview,
“That was actually- we got high and ran a Super-8 camera, up in LA. There’s a park with a little Buddha up at the top of the park. Everyone was like- the industry. Which it is, in some sense. But we had a dog with us, and Nora, had this dog that we dragging, my friend...
Dogs of L.A. Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The canyon air is like a breath of fresh L.A.
I was a Star Trek crew member
With my Beatle boots and my Super-8
And I raced you to the top
The camera gets a stuttered shot of
Me approaching the painted shrine
[Chorus]
I kissed the Buddha and made him cry
I kissed the Buddha and made him cry
Georgie, I'm your friend
And the shit brown reservoir
Is a testament to the dogs of L.A.
They hold the place like the Mafia and say
Run me 'round again
[Verse 2]
The sawed off tree-trunks stand among the living palms
You were beaming as I focused in and I panned along
And I raced you to the top
Kicking snakes up from dusty rocks
Young Abe Vigoda plays Frankenstein
[Chorus]
I kissed the Buddha and made him cry
I kissed the Buddha and made him cry
Georgie, I'm your friend
And the shit brown reservoir
Is a testament to the dogs of L.A.
They hold the place like the Mafia and say
Run me 'round again
[Outro]
I wanna go again
And the shit brown reservoir
Is a testament to the dogs of L.A.
They hold the place like the Mafia and say
Run me 'round again
