Testo Manzanar - Van Dyke Parks
Testo della canzone Manzanar (Van Dyke Parks), tratta dall'album Tokyo Rose
Manzanar
Manzanar
Manzanar
No one can forget the place where she has gone away
Funny how regret can taste like honey in L.A. anyway
All the trees ornamental
Every breeze downright sentimental
No one can forget her face when she has gone away
Let a bungalow and yard fulfill your every need
Get a Romeo and garden all but gone to seed, as they say
Every swallow returning
Just to follow a natural yearning
It is just a paper chase when she has gone away
What the heck of it, the deck and check romance on holiday
Drawn a breath and danced with death until the dawn had held it at bay
Watched the palms by the sea sway
In the arms of a beautiful Nisei
Now I can forget her face and she has gone away
Manzanar
Not the kind of girl to hit the street
Manzanar
She is dancing to a brand new beat
Manzanar
Don't know me from Ansel Adams 'cause I'm from Los Angeles
Would have called her but was at a loss for what to say just to please
But it gets right down there to the wire
When you really feel a desire
Tell her she is all-American in Japanese
This is a dump without a doubt
You gotta jump, you wanna shout
And it is something you got out, Manzanar
You are not warm, a desert storm
And where the high Sierra hits the flyway
You are alone, you will explode
To Arizona, hit the road
Next sound you'll hear is pounding down the highway
Like a man without a nation
In a camp of concentration
With a stamp of degradation and shame
To a place they call it Manzanar by name
You are awake, an evening star
All you can take is making out just where you are
There's a name to explore there
It's a story of shame and war there
In Manzanar
In Manzanar
Manzanar
