Hyperion & Sunset Lyrics - Grant Lee Buffalo

Gift of the sage chaparral 

Born of this bone-dry heat 

In summer when roads turn caramel 

The earthquakes and everyone leaves 

Where have they gone 

Far from hyperion 

And sunset boulevard 

Where have they gone 

North up to oregon 

And mt. saint helens ha ha ha 

Left behind dishes and furniture 

Took only the blankets to sleep 

Sprinkled their pillows with lavender 

Safe from the grasp of the enemy 

Where have they gone 

Far from hyperion 

And sunset boulevard 

Where have they gone 

North up to oregon 

And mt. saint helens ha 

Thrown from the nest of los angeles 

Naive and motherless each 

Dear friends farewell 

Write down the e-mail for me 

We're out of town till these aftershocks 

Let up most definitely 

Where have they gone 

Far from hyperion 

And sunset boulevard 

Word is you've gone 

On up to oregon 

With room for company 

Flown from the nest of los angeles 

Naive and motherless me
