The Destruction of Laurel Canyon |
The nominated councillors had a joke |
To build the city’s foundations on smoke |
They thought their idea so funny |
That their laughter it turned into a choke |
They started on the blueprints right away |
Tracing out the cul-de-sacs in spades |
They went to sleep not dreaming |
Not dreaming that they never would awake |
All the Spanish Mission houses slide into the sea |
The pool cleaner he cleans the pool with its owner’s SUV |
The shadow of the mountain it comes creeping across the sea |
And no-one would believe you if you said this is how it would be |
Up in Laurel Canyon angels sing |
While sweet Gene Autry’s dealing cards to Sting |
He’s so flat he went out and traded |
$ 50 for his wedding ring |
All the sullen singers they pull down on their fringe |
The French doors start to buckle and they let the waters in |
You know that these hills were built for people to be free |
And no-one would believe you if you said this is how it would be |
The gutters become torrents and run down the graceful streets |
Like a revolutionary force stamping its foamy feet |
The elements of nature they are turned and reversed |
Land is sea, air is land, and fire its inverse |
All the marble monuments they return to the sea |
And no-one would believe you if you said this is how it would be |
