Ventura Blvd

I grew up in this city

My parents met at Hollywood High

My mother played in the orange groves

Until it stung her eyes

My father's father hunted ducks

Near Ventura blvd

Which was 2 dirt roads

As far as you'd want to go

Now it's unrecognizable

It's unrecognizable

I've been driving on the freeway

That's what you do in LA

That's how I got to my grandparents

In the olden days

Already covered up with asphalt and industry

Where can we go

As far as we want to go

Down a lost dirt road

We're unrecognizable

There's a bird at my window

I think she's trying to get in

Maybe she wants to comfort me

Cause she knocks every time that I sing

Are there any places left that we haven't been

Some patch of earth without our impressions

When I close my eyes

let the bird inside

Does she recognize me?

Or am I so unrecognizable

We all sprung from the water

And crawled up to the land

And then began a history

Of the sins of man

And accident

Or just the cruelest plan

To have so much

And then for what

Just covered up

Until it's unrecognizable

There's a bird at my window

I think she's trying to get in

Maybe she wants to comfort me

Cause she knocks every time that I sing

Are there any places left that we haven't been

Some patch of earth without our impressions

When I close my eyes

let the bird inside

Does she recognize me?

Or am I so unrecognizable
