Calistan |
| I took three days to drive down one street |
| The radio on, tuned to the big fleet |
| Invisible planes are cracking 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 doing OK |
| He’s making 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-ay-I-don't know |
| Went in from the weather when I got wheezy |
| I play some pachinko I play Pachisi |
| And St. Anne is still making me 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 chord 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-ay-I-don't know |
