A Long Drive Home To Tarzana Lyrics - Ray Davies

New England to Hollywood 

Seems so far away 

Like all roads lead us to California 

It's a long long way to paradise, isn't it? 

In the never ending search for all perfection 

And it seems like an eternity 

Since we first turned the ignition 

And made our way down the highway 

Because I told you lies 

It seems a never ending lonesome drive 

And now the road is getting clear 

The exit sign is very near 

The empty spaces will lead us round 

Hope we can find our new hometown 

It's a long drive home to Tarzana 

But once we're there 

We will see there's nothing there 

Except that space 

Beautiful space 

We drove so far to find this place 

It's a long drive home to Tarzana 

This space that community 

All freeways meet to Tarzana 

No more ghettos or urban strife 

It's fine with me 

It's fine with me
