Highway One Zero Street where Elvis buys his Pabst 
You're not leaving are you baby? Has the hotel collapsed? 
Zero Street Highway One where auto collision is fun
You suntan's a cancer burn, and your motorcycle
Your motorcycle is your gun
I can't believe I'm feeding cockroaches in the biggest jungle known to man 
Right where the hear of Chinatown cuts in to old Siam 
I'm writing letters to the aliens, at midnight I rip down the shade 
And there she sits, Queen of the Heavens 
Saying Mexican silver is what true love weighs 
Guns crack out on the boulevard spitting fire way down on the row 
Cruisers flip out on the warpath, a pack of dogs attack the old wino 
I'm pleading don't let anyone hurt him, and its midnight parade 
There goes the Blessed soul of the Virgin 
Patron saint of Chambermaids 
At the Condos de los Matadores where they hung Fatty Arbuckle's balls 
You kid sisters sitting, kicking drugs on a Bedouin rug in the hall 
I'm writing letters to the aliens, at midnight I rip down the shade 
And there she sits, queen of the heavens 
Saying Mexican silver is what true love weighs 
Highway One Zero Street where Elvis buys his Pabst 
You're not leaving are you baby? Has the hotel collapsed? 
Zero Street Highway One where auto collision is fun
You suntan's a cancer burn, and your motorcycle 
Your motorcycle is your gun
