Lyrics Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon) - The Mamas & The Papas
I
used
to
live
in
New
York
City
Everything
there
was
dark
and
dirty
Outside
my
window
was
a
steeple
With
a
clock
that
always
said
12:30
Young
girls
are
coming
to
the
canyon
And
in
the
mornings
I
can
see
them
walkin'
I
can
no
longer
keep
my
blinds
drawn
And
I
can't
keep
myself
from
talkin'
At
first
so
strange
to
feel
so
friendly
To
say
"Good
morning"
and
really
mean
it
To
feel
these
changes
happenin'
in
me
But
not
to
notice
'til
I
feel
it
Young
girls
are
coming
to
the
canyon
And
in
the
mornings
I
can
see
them
walkin'
I
can
no
longer
keep
my
blinds
drawn
And
I
can't
keep
myself
from
talkin'
Cloudy
waters
cast
no
reflection
Images
of
beauty
lie
there
stagnant
Vibrations
bounce
in
no
direction
But
lie
there
shattered
into
fragments
Young
girls
are
coming
to
the
canyon
(Young
girls
are
coming
in
the
canyon)
And
in
the
mornings
I
can
see
them
walkin'
(In
the
mornings
I
can
see
them
walkin')
I
can
no
longer
keep
my
blinds
drawn
(Can
no
longer
keep
my
blinds
drawn)
And
I
can't
keep
myself
from
talkin'
