Verse
Laurel was a girl I knew, made of dirt and stone
Pretty hip in younger years, but now she sits alone
With a hundred thousand architectural disasters that
She calls homes
Beverly Glen was pretty, all the rich boys loved her curves
She tried to get the credit, sometimes more than she deserved
Like those cheesy 80's movies, epitomizing all things
We'd come to know
Chorus
x2
Verse 2
Beachwood was a boheme from the sexy 60's scene
Grew up east of west Hollywood and somewhere in between
All the madness Laurel puts up with,
But somehow always tolerates a scene
Nicols, he had a way with the performing arts
A&R guys having cookouts on his back with super stars
But he had some nasty habits and some potholes to
Cover up this drama queen
Chorus
x2
Verse 3
Sometimes Beachwood yelled at Laurel over terms of selling out
Then Laurel yelled at Beverly for not knowing what life's about
With her trust fund friends and family, it felt like an earthquake
When she'd shout
And Silverlake just stood there, with her nose up in the air
Pushing up her horn rimmed glasses saying,
"I don't fucking care about the madness all you idiots are buying,
Selling and leasing up there"
Chorus
x2
San Fernando was a struggling actor who drove a deli truck
On the sets of porno movies, he was just trying to make a buck
While his pilot was in escrow, he dreamed of
Dating Beverly one day
Chorus
