Destruction Of Laurel Canyon, The Lyrics - Casino Twilight Dogs - Youth Group

Youth Group - 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 

Photos 

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
