The Destruction of Laurel Canyon Lyrics
The Destruction Of Laurel Canyon - Youth Group
The nominated councillors had a joke
To build the city's foundations on smoke
And they though
Their idea so funny
That their laughter it turned into a choke
They started on the blueprints right away
Tracing out the culdesacs in spades
And they
Went to sleep not dreaming
Not dreaming that they never would awake
And all the spanish mission houses slide into the sea
The pool cleaner he cleans the pool
With it's 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
Sweet gene autry's dealing cards to sting
He's so flat
He went out and traded
50 dollars for his wedding ring
And 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 it's foamy feet
The elements of nature
They are turned and reversed
Land is sea and air is land and fire it's 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
