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
