Coldwater Coldwater Canyon

He said he wanted to know her
he had this place in the canyon
he said he wanted to show her

Coldwater Coldwater Canyon
he said in a dulcet tone
let's go to my place in the canyon
where we can be alone

Well he had a bed that was covered with tiger skin
it was a non-ecological scene
and she felt so scared
'cause its teeth were bared
and its smile
was righteously mean

He had a water mattress
and a vibrating pillow
designed for decreasing the tension
he had a stereo set
in the headboard yet
and it was featuring
the Fifth Dimension

High in a nook on the opposite wall
disguised in a driftwood frame
compatible color tv tuned to channel three
showing "Hunchback of Notre Dame"
and a huge aquarium
with neon lights

She was quite taken back by the sharks
and a myna bird she distinctly heard
making absolutely rude remarks

Coldwater Coldwater Canyon
he said he wanted to know her
he had this place in the canyon
he said he wanted to show her

Coldwater Coldwater Canyon
he said in a dulcet tone
let's go to my place in the canyon
where we can be alone

"Well ain't it great", he said "to be all alone"?
oh it's a young girl graduate's wish
but then the room went blank
when she looked at the tank
and saw a fish eat another fish

And the hunchback rang those Notre Dame bells
and the bird yelled something risque
about balloon ascension
while the Fifth Dimension rendered up up up up up
up up and away

He had his headphones on
and he was gettin' it off
he had an amyl popper in his nose
so he never did see her leave the room

He never did hear that screen door close
and she ran ran wild like a paranoid child
and nothing was aware of her flight
except the eye of the sleeping sky
and the ear of the infinite still and silent night

Coldwater Coldwater Canyon
poor baby she should have known
Coldwater Coldwater Canyon
you got no grace
if you go no place to be alone
