Lyrics:

New England to Hollywood, seems so far away
Like all roads lead us to California
"It's a long, long way to Paradise isn't it?"
In the never-ending search for perfection
And it seems like an eternity, since we first turned the ignition
And made our way down the highway

Because I told you lies
It seems a never-ending lonesome drive

But now the road is getting clear
The exit sign is very near
The empty spaces will lead us round
Hope we can find our new home town

It's a long drive home to Tarzana
But once we're there we will see there's nothing there except that space
Beautiful space ...
We drove so far to find this place

It's a long drive home to Tarzana
This spaced-out community
All freeways lead to Tarzana
No more ghettoes, Or urban sprawl
It's fine with me
It's fine with me
"It's a long, long way to Paradise isn't it?"
