I took three days, to drive down one street   The radio on, tuned to the big fleet   Invisible planes, crackin' the concrete   That's just what some people say, hey hey      I put down my blanket on Cigarette Butt Beach   I saw the old man, he was doin' ok   He's makin' his last stand   On old bottles and cans   'Round there, Calistan way, hey hey      Used to be sixteen lanes   Used to be Nuevo Spain   Used to be Juan Wayne   Used to be Mexico   Used to be Navajo   Used to be yippy yay I don't know      Went in from the weather, when I got wheezy   I play some pachinko, I play pachisi   And St. Anne's still makin' it breezy   In the valley of tar that once was L.A., hey hey      And my best friend, he's the king of karaoke   He struck up a cord and he took it away   Out of the pan   And into Japan   'Round there, Calistan way, hey hey      Used to be sixteen lanes   Used to be Juan Wayne   Used to be Mexican   Used to be Espano Nuevo   Used to be Navajo   Used to be yippy yay I don't know
