Off of Wonderland Lyrics

Geography 101, if you know LA at all, you will recognize Off of Wonderland is about the Laurel Canyon days. The lyrics refer to an innocent time. Waiting for the realization of Everyman. It was during the bliss of really productive songwriting and Free Love. The innocence and hope and too much fun, before the Viet Nam war and the Tate LaBianca murders. The curtain ripped open, and the residents of the winding roads up those canyon roads suddenly locked their doors at night, and stayed alert.

But for awhile it was fun and cool.
