Hey L.A.

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
