Written and recorded Feb 21-22, 2007 in Pasadena CA.
When cities have a big important road
A proper name is key
Chicago's got the Ike and Kennedy
New York the L.I.E.
L.A. has got a hundred roads like that
But none more aptly named
Than the
Gene Autry Memorial Interchange
It's kind of like a braided lariat
With fraying strands and cords
Stars hug the rail like Secretariat
In gleaming Jags and Fords
Cuz no one's here to stay for very long
They're headed somewhere strange
Beyond the
Gene Autry Memorial Interchange
Man I love the strains of gleaming DNA
Streaming through the veins of my beautiful L.A.
The perfect chains and spaghetti string decay
Why would we need to be set free?
We might spin off endlessly...
From Griffith Park it's beautiful at night
To watch the stars go by
And Zoo Drive looks just like a lariat
If you squint your eyes
It's like the hills and gulch topography
Were cosmically arranged
To form the
Gene Autry Memorial Interchange
Man I love the strains of gleaming DNA
Streaming through the veins of my beautiful L.A.
The perfect chains and spaghetti string decay
Why would we need to be set free?
Why would we need to be set free?
We might spin off endlessly... endlessly... endlessly...
The Gene Autry Memorial Interchange
