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
