The vast indifferent deserts of Arizona
He had a psychotic episode on a dude ranch
That involved a bottle of ammonia
Henry he went south and lost his way
Deep in the weeping forest of Le vulva
He grew so worn he grew so sick
He ended up in a bungalow sucking a revolver
The light upon your rainy streets
Offers many reflections
And I won't be held responsible
For my actions
Bobby, he goes north then he goes east
Then over to New Hampshire
Bobby is a cautious man he walked into
A Concord dive, to drink a beer
Do you wanna dance??
Yeah do you wanna move??
Yeah do you wanna dance??
Don't you wanna groove??
The world is full of
Endless abstractions
And I won't be held responsible
For my actions
Me, I ain't going anywhere
Just sit and watch the sun come up
I like it here!
I watch the people go ticking past
I go hey hey hey
You know I gotta say, I like it here!!
Shala shala la, la, la, la
La, la, la , la
Shala, la, la, shala, shala, shala, la, la
Albert he goes west he crosses The vast indifferent deserts of Arizona He had a psychotic episode on a dude ranch That involved a bottle of ammonia Henry he went south and lost his way Deep in the weeping forest of Le vulva He grew so worn he grew so sick He ended up in a bungalow sucking a revolver The light upon your rainy streets Offers many reflections And I won't be held responsible For my actions Bobby, he goes north then he goes east Then over to New Hampshire Bobby is a cautious man he walked into A Concord dive, to drink a beer Do you wanna dance??
