Manzanar - Van Dyke Parks[00:00:00]
Noone can forget the place where she has gone away[00:00:32]
Funny how regret can taste like honey in L A anyway[00:00:38]
All the trees ornamental[00:00:43]
Every breeze downright sentimental[00:00:46]
No one can forget her face when she has gone away[00:00:51]
Let a bungalow and yard fulfill your every need[00:00:57]
Get a Romeo and garden all but gone to seed as they say[00:01:02]
Every swallow returning[00:01:08]
Just to follow a natural yearning[00:01:10]
It is just a paper chase when she has gone away[00:01:16]
What the heck I've hit the deck and checked romance on holiday[00:01:39]
Drawn a breath and danced with death[00:01:44]
Until the dawn had held it at bay[00:01:46]
Watched the palms by the sea sway[00:01:49]
In the arms of beautiful Nissei[00:01:53]
Now I can't forget her face since she has gone away[00:01:59]
Manzanar not the kind of girl to hit the street[00:02:20]
Manzanar she is dancin to a brand new beat[00:02:25]
Don't know me from Ansel Adams 'cause I'm from Los Angeles[00:02:50]
Would've called her but was at a loss[00:02:55]
For what to say just to please[00:02:57]
When it gets right down there to the wire[00:03:01]
When you're reeling and feel her desire[00:03:03]
Tell her she is All-American in Japanese[00:03:11]
This is a dump without a doubt[00:03:17]
You gotta jump you wanna shout[00:03:19]
And it is sump thin you got out[00:03:22]
Manzanar[00:03:25]
You are not warm a desert storm[00:03:28]
And where the High Sierra hits the flyway[00:03:31]
You are alone you will explode[00:03:35]
To Arizone you hit the road[00:03:38]
Next sound you hear is pounding down the highway[00:03:40]
Like a man without a nation[00:03:44]
In a camp of concentration[00:03:50]
With a stamp of degredation and shame[00:03:56]
To a place they call it Manzanar by name[00:04:02]
You are awake an evening star[00:04:12]
All you can take is makin out just where you are[00:04:14]
There's a name to explore there[00:04:19]
And a story of shame and war there[00:04:22]
In Manzanar in Manzanar[00:04:26]
Manzanar[00:04:39]
