Palo Alto

 

Palo Alto

(专辑: Moving Through America - 2022)


Oh, well, we once ate candied apples
And the yellow jackets chased us near the pier here
And a cement ship sounds crazy, but
The Palo Alto's here for all to see
It was built for World War One, but
Wasn't done in time for action, so it sat there
At the Oakland, California
Naval Shipyard as a mothballed oddity

Then in 1929 a weird amusement company
Came up with a concept
And they bought it and they brought it here to Aptos
Where they sank it near the shore
Then they built a pier out to it
And it opened as a recreation hot spot
With a cafe and a dance floor and a bandstand
And a swimming pool onboard

Palo Alto, you're a landmark and a dreamboat
Palo Alto, we grew up as you kept crumbling in the sea
Palo Alto, you were brought here as a money making scheme boat
Palo Alto, but that's not the way the dream turned out to be

Had we not had Prohibition
They might well have made a fortune off the nightlife
Had the boat been serving booze
They could have had that dance floor crowded frequently
When the Great Depression hit
Just like a lot of other companies they went bankrupt
Then the state of California bought it back
And simply chose to let it be

Palo Alto, you're a landmark and a dreamboat
Palo Alto, we grew up as you kept crumbling in the sea
Palo Alto, you were brought here as a money-making scheme boat
Palo Alto, but that's not the way the dream turned out to be
Palo Alto, but that's not the way the dream turned out to be

Palo Alto babies grew up wild and free
Palo Alto babies by the sunlit sea
Palo Alto babies grew up wild and free
Palo Alto babies by the sunlit sea
