Albert Goes West lyrics

albert he goes west/ he crossed

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 & lost his way

deep in the weeping forests of le vulva

he grew so wan/ he grew so sick

he ended up in a bungalow/ sucking a revolver

the light upon yr rainy streets

offers many reflections

& I wont be held responsible

for my actions

bobby he goes north/ then 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?

do you wanna move?

do you wanna dance?

do you wanna GROOVE?

the world is full of

endless abstractions

& I wont be held responsible

for my actions

me/ I ain't going anywhere

just sit & 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!!!

sha-la-la-la sha la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!!!

sha-la-la-la sha la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!!!
