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
