About the Artist
Lyrics
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 forests Of le vulva He grew so wan, he grew so sick He ended up in a bungalow Sucking a revolver The light up on your rainy streets Offers many reflections 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? Do you wanna groove? This world is full of Endless abstractions 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! Sha-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la
