Lyrics Ray Davies – A Long Drive Home To Tarzana

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 perfection

Because I told you lies
It seems a never-ending lonesome drive

But 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 spaced-out community
All freeways lead to Tarzana
No more ghettoes or urban sprawl
It’s fine with me
It’s fine with me
It’s a long, long way to paradise isn’t it?
