Hyperion And Sunset Songtext / Lyric

Gift of the sage
Chaparral
Born of this bone-dry heat
In summer the roads turn to caramel
The earthquakes and everyone leaves

Where have they gone?
Far from Hyperion and Sunset Boulevard
Where have they gone?
North up to Oregon and Mt.St Helens, ha ha ha

Left behind dishes and
Furniture
Took only the blankets to sleep
Sprinkle their pillows with Lavender
Safe from the grasp of the enemy

Where have they gone?
Far from Hyperion and Sunset Boulevard
Where have they gone?
North to Oregon and Mt.St Helen's

Thrown from the nest of Los Angeles
Naive and motherless
Each

Dear friends
Farewell
Write down the email for me
We're out of town till these
Aftershocks
Let up most definitely

Where have you gone?
Far from Hyperion and Sunset Boulevard
Word is you've gone
On up to Oregon
With room for company

Thrown from the nest of Los Angeles
Naive and motherless, me.
