Palm Desert

Van Dyke Parks

    Continues after the ad

    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.

    Continues after the ad

    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.
