Lyrics

Hey L.A.

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There's an automatic teller machine in the emergency room

There's a meter maid she arrives by broom

There's a bear in the air with a lullaby

And a big brown coat to keep you warm at night

There's a money tree

And the ladder leans up against the trunk

But the steps are greased

Hey L.A.

Where you from

Where have you gone now

Well it looks like someone's spaceship crashed

In Babylon

There's a plastic man with a plastic knife

In a rubber hand at a drastic price

Don't miss this show you will be amazed

You're a shining star, a needle in the haze

There's a man upstairs

With the fire below

There's the elevator

And away you go

Hey L.A.

Where you from

Where have you gone now

Well it looks like someone's spaceship crashed

In Babylon

There's a smooth operator

There's a famous Governator

Everybody walks in L.A.

On a backward escalator

It's a soul terminator

It's a sea of alligators

On each and every corner

There's a broken hearted waiter

Hey L.A.

Where you from

Where have you gone now

Well it looks like someone's spaceship crashed

In Babylon
