Lyrics
An angel on a Harley Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone
Puts his bike up on it's stand
Leans back and then extends A scarred and greasy hand
He said How ya doin bro?
Where ya been?
Where ya goin'?
Then he takes your hand
In some strange Californian handshake
And breaks the bone
Have a nice day
A housewife from Encino
Whose husband's on the golf course
With his book of rules
Breaks and makes a U' and idles back
To take a second look at you
You flex your rod Fish takes the hook
Sweet vodka and tobacco in her breath
Another number in your little black book
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
Oh babe, I must be dreaming I'm standing on the leading edge
The Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes
Jump says Yoko Ono
I'm too scared and too good looking I cried
Go on, she says
Why don't you give it a try?
Why prolong the agony all men must die
Do you remember Dick Tracy?
Do you remember Shane?
And mother wants you
Could you see him selling tickets
Where the buzzard circles over Shane
The body on the plain
Did you understand the music Yoko
Or was it all in vain? (Shane)
The bitch said something mystical (hero)
So I stepped back on the kerb again
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
Oh babe, I must be dreaming again
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
