5:01 AM [The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking] lyrics

An angel on a Harley

Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone

Puts his bike up on its stand

Leans back and then extends

A scarred and greasy hand, he said

He said:

"How ya doin bro?...where ya been?...where ya goin?"

Then he takes your hand

In some strange Californian handshake

And breaks the bone

Angels Moll: "Have a nice day"

A housewife from Encino

Whose husband's on the golf course

Ha

With his book of rules

[Shoop shoop shoop]

Breaks and makes a 'U' and idles back

To take a second look at you

[You flex your rod]

You flex your rod

[Fish takes the hook]

Fish takes the hook

[Woaaa]

Sweet vodka and tobacco in her breath

[Hu-hu-hu]

Another number in your little black book

[These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking]

Oh babe, I must be dreaming

I was standing on the leading edge

The Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes

"Jump" said Yoko Ono

"I'm too scared and too good looking" I cried

"Go on," she says

"Why don't you give it a try?

Why prolong the agony

All men must die"

Do you remember Dick Tracy?

Do you remember Shane?

Joey :"And mother wants you"

[Shoop shoop shoop]

Could you see him selling tickets

Where the buzzard circles over

Joey :"Shane"

The body on the plain

Did you understand the music Yoko

Or was it all in vain?

Joey :"Shane!"

The bitch said something mystical

["Herro"]

So I stepped back on the curb again, wooh

[These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking]

Oh babe, I must be dreaming again

[These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking]…
