About the Artist
Lyrics
Her head is in a bitter way Her brain's on fire She's just looking for the perfect wave It's her brain's desire I'll think of her When I walk the strand On this true hermosa night Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ed is dead Ed is dead Ed is dead, Huh huh huh Ed is dead She's just rotting in stupid bliss With music on her bars uhh Her face burning in the L.A. sun She got no, got no fear of cars I'll dedicate my strand cruiser To the memory of her own... Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh Ed is dead Ed is dead Ed is dead Uhh huh, uh huh Ed is, oh Ed is Ed is dead Ed is... yeah Ed is... Ed is dead, uhh huh uhh huh... Ed... Ed... Ed is dead Ohh ohh, ya ya ya ya yai! (Ed is dead) E.I.D E.I.D E.I.D No, no, no, no, no
