You know Topanga Canyon
at all in Los Angeles?

00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:11.200 align:middle line:84%
It's a canyon that comes
down from the ridge

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:13.360 align:middle line:84%
and goes all the way
out to the ocean.

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:15.520 align:middle line:84%
There's a little stream
that follows part of it.

00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:19.080 align:middle line:90%


00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:20.175 align:middle line:90%
It's "Up to Topanga."

00:00:20.175 --> 00:00:23.140 align:middle line:90%


00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:27.430 align:middle line:84%
"Up to Topanga, the road
cuts down to the muscle,

00:00:27.430 --> 00:00:34.390 align:middle line:84%
a sea-laid matrix of rock and
shell the creek carves through.

00:00:34.390 --> 00:00:40.810 align:middle line:84%
Full moon, the sea at my
back glazed dark blue.

00:00:40.810 --> 00:00:43.420 align:middle line:84%
There's a coyote
in my headlights

00:00:43.420 --> 00:00:45.970 align:middle line:90%
with her inevitable smile.

00:00:45.970 --> 00:00:49.420 align:middle line:84%
Sweet dancer, she
leaps the double line,

00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:53.680 align:middle line:84%
and I climb higher,
following your car.

00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:58.720 align:middle line:84%
The man who tried to pick you up
at dinner started a war in me.

00:00:58.720 --> 00:01:01.210 align:middle line:84%
I could have charged
with furious tusks

00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:04.360 align:middle line:84%
through that underbrush
of talk, but I kept it

00:01:04.360 --> 00:01:10.210 align:middle line:84%
where women like me keep
things, quiet, until later when

00:01:10.210 --> 00:01:13.000 align:middle line:90%
you held me like girl.

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.890 align:middle line:84%
Eyes smiling like coyote,
you changed my jealousy

00:01:17.890 --> 00:01:23.290 align:middle line:84%
into passion, threw your hair
over me like a coat of fur,

00:01:23.290 --> 00:01:27.990 align:middle line:84%
and into the forest of
the moon I chased you."
