Well I flew in from this old furniture town A long, long time ago At nineteen I was one of the lucky ones A lad bright enough to leave That old dirty town where they all put me down So I brought with me these here 3 guitars Yeah One for the cuts, 2 for the scars But I'm not the only one who rolled into town Just t lay my burden down Well she's living high up there with the sun With the fern and eucalyptus hey way up in the canyon Cheer up child, drink that strawberry wine, another time We've arrived in the state of mind Where everything's moving gears Like limb to limb and mouth to mouth and hey You gotta love to love You gotta love to love You gotta love to love La da da da da da da da
I was in Topanga just about long enough To see what it's got to turn into to expect the dust I saw Venus just North of Zuma Beach She was too Hollywood to even recognize me Hey they say the boulevard board it sparkles like diamonds Hey Tall and malachite, Always light up the night I lost you baby on Yamashiro hill Those pagodas in your eyes light up the city even still Well she's living high up there with the sun With the fern and eucalyptus hey way up in the canyon Cheer up child, drink that strawberry wine, another time We've arrived in the state of mind Where everything's moving gears Like limb to limb and mouth to mouth and hey You gotta love to love
