It was dark in the valley in the morning
Nothing was stirring
Nothing Had Life
Red light above the hills it was glowing like the wound from a knife in a fight
And I missed my bus going downtown
I was late
By a minute
Old gray man at the porch said life
Stops for no one and oh boy you’re in it
And do you know the way to San Jose?
I lost my way somewhere in San Jose
And I know you went lookin for a place to get out of the rain
Yet somehow you stayed
Well get up, shake off the rust and get your head out of your bottle of pills
I know you will
I got a house out by the airport
There’s lots of space if you don’t mind the roar
Metal birds come home to rest and you can be sure
That you’re safe
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I know you grown tired of the scene down in LA, well won’t you come back to
San Jose
And while you go cookin up sunny side I’m on a landslide in a jungle that they hide
And if the rock where we lay our heads down gets shook, I’ll write a book and send it to you
I’m dreaming of afternoons
Painted blue with me and you on
Park Avenue
(Repeat)
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Can you find your way back to San Jose?
I have never been so, so afraid of San Jose
I have never been so, so afraid of San Jose
It was dark in the valley in the morning
Nothing was stirring
Nothing had life
