Coldwater Canyon Songtext

he said in a dulcet tone

let's go to my place in the canyon

where we can be alone



well he had a bed that was covered

with tiger skin

it was a non-ecological scene

and she felt so scared

'cause its teeth were bared

and its smile
was righteously mean

he had a water mattress

and a vibrating pillow

designed for decreasing the tension

he had a stereo set

in the headboard yet

and it was featuring

the fifth dimension

high

in a nook on the opposite wall

disguised in a driftwood frame

compatible color tv

tuned to channel three

showing "hunchback of notre dame"

and a huge aquarium

with neon lights

she was quite taken back

by the sharks

and a myna bird

she distinctly hearts

making absolutely

rude remarks



coldwater coldwater canyon

he said he wanted to know her

he had this place in the canyon

he said he wanted to show her

coldwater coldwater canyon

he said in a dulcet tone

let's go

to my place in the canyon

where we

can be

alone



well

ain't it great he said

to be all alone?

oh it's a young girl graduate's wish

but then the room went blank

when she looked at the tank

and saw a fish

eat another fish

and the hunchback rang

those notre dame bells

and the bird yelled something risque

about balloon ascension

while the fifth dimension

rendered up up up up up

up up and away



he had

his headphones on

and he was gettin' it off

he had an amy popper in his nose

so he never did see her

leave the room

he never did hear the

screen door close

and she ran ran wild

like a paranoid child

and nothing was aware

of her flight

except the eye

of the sleeping sky

and the ear

of the infinite

still and silent night



coldwater coldwater canyon

poor baby she should have known

coldwater coldwater canyon

you got not grace

if you go no place

to be

alone
