I met a man
He was a good man
Sailing and shoring
Dancing the beta can-can
Making me foreign
Oh yeah

I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
No not the one in South California
They got one in South Patagonia

I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
They got a bunch down in Moleville
They got a bunch more still

I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
They got one in twenty-five two five
Works just like a beehive

I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
Counting helicopters on saturday night
The symphony of the fair light

I hear saying Los Angeles
In all the black and white movies
And if you think they Star-Spangled us
How come we say Los Angeleez?

I'll wait in Los Angeles
I'll wait in the pouring sun
No way
For not anyone
No way

I met a man
He was a good man
Sailing and shoring
He got a betatron man
Talking that foreign
Oh yeah

I'll wait in Los Angeles
I'll wait in the pouring sun
No way
For not anyone
No way

I had so many problems
And then I got me a Walkman
I really liked it a lot, and
They walked right in and they solved them
They walked right in and they solved them

I heard Ramona sing
And I heard everything
The speed they're traveling
They are the only thing

Ramona
There were moments in the night
It was all right
There were moments in the night

I heard Ramona sing
And I heard everything
The speed they're traveling
They are the only thing
Ramona

I don't care if they're real or they're pseudo
I don't care if they get any higher
I hope if someone retires
They pull another Menudo
They pull another Menudo
They pull another Menudo
They pull another Menudo

There are moments in the night
It is all right
There are moments in the night

I hear Raniona sing
And I hear everything
The speed they're traveling
They are the only thing
Ramona

I know so many people
Who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads
And stay in the safety zone

But what can you tell them?
What can you say that won't make them defensive?
So...

Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight

They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through the day
And waste all their thoughts at night

But how can I say it?
How can I come on when I know I'm guilty?
So...

Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight

And how can I say it?
How can I come on when I know I'm guilty?

Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight

You heard about
A criminal man of virtue
Is there any doubt
His minimal strands would suit you?

Is a hard earned way
Is a hard earned way
I'll never lose
My Fu manchu, my fu manchu

Let them grow out
In time you'll feel so better
The vanishing pout
Now youre a real go-getter

Is a hard earned way
Is a hard earned way
I'll never lose
My Fu manchu, my fu manchu

Is a hard earned way
Is a hard earned way
Occidentally tic-tac
Occidentally tic-tac

Beyond below above
A gravity that slumbers
At the center of
Places named after numbers
A different kind of love

She was right
She was right there
She was right there all the time
Collapsing all the way

And though it seems from here
That she was never there
Light beams disappear
Into her blackened hair
I wonder if they reappear

She was right
She was right there
She was right there all the time
Collapsing all the way

Time
If he could travel time
He would have been on time
Instead of making rhyme
He didn't need a band
He was a mountain man

Oil
The national turmoil
They hide it in the soil
A singer and his spoil
Just singing thanks
I've got my own gas tanks

And there's no time for the man
Who has sung his bars
And there's no time
And there's no time for the man called Czar

Blue
Extraodinary blue
Ten million porthole views
They're saying on the news
The Russians just said "No.
You can't go."

And there's no time for the man
Who has sung his bars
And there's no time
And there's no time for the man called Czar

I hung around
On the planet Mabel
She tried to stand
But she was not able

She tried to find the truth
She tried to colonize space
She only had a few
But it was a good race

Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning
Old black dawning

I'm always happy to
Go down to old Tucson
After you had your fun
It's time to move on

I've got a favorite story
About the Tower of Babel
Some say it's true
And some say it's a fable

Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning is coming on
Old black dawning
Old black dawning

I'm just another ten percenter
My mind is like an ocean
My mind is like an ocean
Im hanging in the harbor

Im just drifting letting out the line
Im letting out the drifting line
Im just tyring to a guy
Whos hailing from Ann Arbor

Making jerk
And its good
Getting perk
Yeah, I would
I'm a jerk

If you got cotton mouth
You better have some water
Sucking syrup and soda
Youre going to just get hotter

But if you want to wile awhile
But if you want to wile awhile
Oh suck a syrup and soda
Oh dance oh sons and daughters

Making jerk
And it's good
Getting perk
Yeah, I would
I'm a jerk
And it's good
Getting perk
Yeah, I would
I'm a jerk

If you got cotton mouth
My mind is like an ocean
My mind is like an ocean
My mind is like an ocean

I'm a jerk
Making jerk
Soda jerk
And it's good
Jerk

This man he was a Mexican, oh yeah
Adopted into Norwegian, oh yeah
Turned into American, oh yeah
But he felt a Mexican, oh yeah
He was a walking fish, oh yeah
Down Mexico way

he had to learn Spanish, oh yeah
He was a walking fish, oh yeah
He was feeling so brackish
Between Norwegian and English

He decided it was time to go
To find the people that he did not know
But the road to Mexico, oh yeah
They sure go fast but they should go slow, oh yeah
It's a dangerous road, oh

By now you know that he was fucked
By now you know he had no luck
He was smashed head on by a giant truck
Down Mexico way

This gravity
Is feeling like a tether
I want to want to be
So high above the weather

All frequency around
Round, round, round, round
Without a sound

And there's today
And there's two spaces
And too many places
Not to go to, ooh

This big old sea
Is feeling like a pleasure
I look cautiously
At all the falling treasure

With some frequency it comes down
Down, down, down, down
Without a sound

And there's today
And there's two spaces
And too many places
Not to go to, ooh

And if a ship meets your car
You know you can't go real far
Well they could treat you real nice
Or put a tracking device
Way down inside

I'm checking out inventions
at the UFO convention tonight
Planes above the Hilton make it sunny
Brought my money tonight
Blue blond ladies of abduction
strumming guitars of instruction tonight
A lot of wannabe truckers
Making eyes with starfuckers tonight

I've got my hands on some sights
Electric glasses with lights
They got me feeling deluxe
For just a couple of bucks
Way down inside

I'm getting patterns from a trekker
And it sounds like soul records to me
They're waving hi from some gazebo
Waving on to Arecibo to me
I'm getting patterns from a trekker
And it sounds like soul records to me
I'm getting patterns from a trekker
And it sounds like Desmond Dekker to me

Sleep machine
In your silo
Transmarine
Things you've never seen

Parry the wind high, low

I'm a wishbone
And I'm breaking
Yeah, I'm wishing for Adda Lee
And the lake sings
And the dogs don't
They are quiet for Adda Lee
Adda Lee

I'm sorry and I miss you
And away I went away
'Cause I wished I was away
I wished I was away

A wishing well
Of well wishing
And Adda waves away
Adda waves away

Heroine of the stars
I don't know where I am
But I know who you are

Adda Lee
Adda Lee

And she whispered
And she left me a man
For the world

Oh, Adda Lee
Oh, Adda Lee
Oh, Adda Lee

Every time I go around here
I see tumbles
Gone is the regal automobile
And ever since I'm down
Im down
We used to ride in it
In this frozen town
Any time we had in the time we had
We found
We found
In some frozen place
Parked half off the ground
Every time I go around here
I see tumbles
Through my head and the glass cleared

And the motor rumbled
I don't know if it's good that they did make the wheel
But ever since I know
I know
Ive been rolling on
Rolling on to you
Any time we have in the time we have
Well go
We go
To that frozen place
Frozen place that we knew
Every time I go around here
I see tumbles
Through my head and the glass cleared
And the motor rumbled
