Van Dyke Parks - Palm Desert lyrics

rate me

By Palm Desert

To market to buy

Tenderfoot up to date

Palms of the real estate

By Palm Desert

Springs often run dry

I came west unto Hollywood

Never-never land

Juxtaposed to B B D and O

Beyond San Fernando

On hillside manors

On the banks of toxicity

Those below and those above the same

Dreams are still born

In Hollywood I don't understand

Just suppose the youngster knows

He's had a good deal of fortune

And up through the babble

On the fair banks complicity

Buy your leave or stay beyond the game

Palm Desert

Not fade away

Palm Desert

I wish I could stay

Palm Desert

Sages abound

So head your head

To the ground round

Meanwhile in the wild west

Of Hollywood age is losing hold

Inasmuch as you are touched

To have withstood

By the very old search

For the truth within

The bounds of toxicity

Left unsung

So I have strung the frame
