I lived along Ventura Highway for a few years. There are lyrics in the song "...alligator lizards in the air..." I found myself living by Ventura Highway for awhile. One day, while I was playing my guitar in the sun, I heard a subtle sound. It was a nearby alligator lizard running down a set of brick stairs. As the reptile came down those stairs, it didn't just walk down. It jumped down. From a certain upward angle, the lizard looked to be flying. "Alligator lizards in the air!" Google ' America...
