Lyrics

The Soul of Lake Tahoe
Victor Uriz

Paradise for sale, heaven's on the platter
The water's getting cloudy, to some that don't matter

The traffic's getting thicker, bumper to bumper your "Keep Tahoe Blue Stickers"

I see we're getting nowhere, but we're getting there much quicker

Politicians like court jesters, out of town money, your foreign investor, the lake like sore that starts to fester, Mother Nature she's under pressure

The lights they keep getting brighter, the stars you know they're getting dimmer, Casino's and coyotes, brother who's the winner

Emerald blue turned to brown, MTB seeping underground, fool's gold in the El Dorado, Who's going to save the soul, of Lake Tahoe

The earth she keeps getting warm, a thinner ozone layer, who's going to tell the children when they ask, why the hell didn't someone save her

Let's take a family vacation, on every corner a service station, the future won't you show me the plan, a cross between Vegas and Disneyland

A toast to Tahoe while Rome is burning, who's pulling those lever's behind the curtain, promise you the Emerald City, here's to big blue and ain't it a pity

Her aqua eyes are slowly closing, her deep heart is surely breaking, jewel of the Sierra's, her last breath she'll soon be taking

Emerald blue turned to brown, MTB seeping underground, fool's gold in the El Dorado, Who's going to save the soul, of Lake Tahoe
