I grew up in this city
My parents met at Hollywood High
My mother played in the orange groves
Until it stung her eyes
My father's father hunted ducks
Near Ventura blvd
Which was 2 dirt roads
As far as you'd want to go
Now it's unrecognizable
It's unrecognizable
 
I've been driving on the freeway
That's what you do in LA
That's how I got to my grandparents
In the olden days
Already covered up with asphalt and industry
Where can we go
As far as we want to go
Down a lost dirt road
We're unrecognizable
 
There's a bird at my window
I think she's trying to get in
Maybe she wants to comfort me
Cause she knocks every time that I sing
 Are there any places left that we haven't been
Some patch of earth without our impressions
When I close my eyes
let the bird inside
Does she recognize me?
Or am I so unrecognizable
 
We all sprung from the water
And crawled up to the land
And then began a history 
Of the sins of man
And accident
Or just the cruelest plan
To have so much
And then for what
Just covered up
Until it's unrecognizable

There's a bird at my window
I think she's trying to get in
Maybe she wants to comfort me
Cause she knocks every time that I sing
 Are there any places left that we haven't been
Some patch of earth without our impressions
When I close my eyes
let the bird inside
Does she recognize me?
Or am I so unrecognizable
