Lyrics

Grand View Drive
(inspired by a street in the Hollywood Hills)

Find me a place where time is standing still,
like the taunting silence before a storm,
scanning the wasteland’s boned submission;
the formidable repose through transition.

When did we learn that time is the enemy
and try to transcend it and try to forget?
Resentment can only steal time from the burdened,
and even now with our aspirations, we’re forced to choose.

And here we are watching the city,
spread like a hawk from sky to sky,
and every thigh heaves the night-lights
through the Palisades, into the bay.

If we’d made the choice somewhere in the past,
would we still be trying to hold onto the second hand?
Now we feel the beat, but it’s our bodies’ own,
trying to learn a lesson in a foreign land.

And here we are watching the city,
spread like a hawk from sky to sky,
and every thigh heaves the night-lights
through the Palisades, into the bay.

I feel your touch;
so strange but I’ve known you,
sweet as the night on Grand View Drive;
sweet as your touch on Grand View Drive,
and I know I’ve known you before.

You and I will be travellers
on her every vein;
you and I will wear the thorns
of her domain;
we’ll wear the thorns of her domain…
