Lyrics:
"There it is, take it!"

Hey, sleepy monster in the sand
Time to get up and have a drink
Pacific Rim has a tank that thinks
That she is really something grand

Let me tell you about
When I was hanging out
Just in my dothi
Running in the dawn
Right across my lawn
I saw a coyote

Ole', ole', ole' for Mulholland
See the water fall
And hooray, hooray the sky is falling
Down on Bradbury's mall
Ole', ole', ole' for Mulholland

All waxed in pride
I've got a comfortable ride
And man, she could take us
Out across the salts
Right out of these faults
And on into Vegas

So slept a monster in the dune
Woke him up and then he drank
Pacific Rim has a think tank
But does she have IQ for the moon?

"The concrete of the aqueduct will last as long as the pyramid of Egypt or the Parthenon of Athens. Long after Job Harriman is elected major of Los Angeles."

Ole', ole', ole' for Mulholland
See the water fall
And hooray, hooray the ants are crawling
Down in Bradbury's mall

Ole', ole', ole' for Mulholland
Yeah, it's quite a sprawl
And hooray, hooray the sky is falling
Down on Bradbury's mall

Ole', ole', ole' for Mulholland
Ole'
