Hey, sleepy monster in the sand Time to get up and have a drink Pacific Rim has a tank that thinks That she is really something grand
Let me tell you about When I was hanging out Just in my dothi Running in the dawn Right across my lawn I saw a coyote
Ole', ole', ole' for Mulholland See the water fall And hooray, hooray the sky is falling Down on Bradbury's mall Ole', ole', ole' for Mulholland
All waxed in pride I've got a comfortable ride And man, she could take us Out across the salts Right out of these faults And on into Vegas
So slept a monster in the dune Woke him up and then he drank Pacific Rim has a think tank But does she have IQ for the moon?
"The concrete of the aqueduct will last as long as the pyramid of Egypt or the Parthenon of Athens. Long after Job Harriman is elected major of Los Angeles."
Ole', ole', ole' for Mulholland See the water fall And hooray, hooray the ants are crawling Down in Bradbury's mall
Ole', ole', ole' for Mulholland Yeah, it's quite a sprawl And hooray, hooray the sky is falling Down on Bradbury's mall
Ole', ole', ole' for Mulholland Ole'
