5:01 A.M (The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking, Part 10).

(Waters)

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.

Hells Angel: "How ya doin bro?...where ya been?...where ya goin'?"

Then he takes your hand

in some strange Californian handshake

and breaks the bone.

Angels Doll: "Have a nice day".

A housewife from Encino

whose husband's on golf course

with his book of rules

breakes 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 hitch hiking.

Oh babe, I must be dreaming

I'm standing on the leading edge

The Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes

"Jump" says Yoko "Oh no!

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?

Joey: "And mother wants you".

Could you see him selling tickets

where the buzzard circles over

Joey: "Shane".

The body on the plain

Did you understand the music Yoko

or was it all in vain?

Joey: "Shane".

The bitch said something mystical "Herro"

So I stepped back on the kerb again.

These are the pros and cons of hitch hiking

Oh babe, I must be dreaming again

These are the pros and cons of hitch hiking.

4:30 A.M (Apparently They Were Travelling Abroad).

(Waters)

Welshman: "Apparently they were travelling abroad

and they picked up some hitchhikers".

Surgeon: "Drill".

Man: "Oh God!"

Wife: "Wake up you're dreaming".

Man: "What?"

Wife: "You're dreaming".

Man: "We were moving away from the border".

Wife: "What border? Go back to sleep".

Hells Angel: "Have a nice day".

Wife: "Huh?"

Hells Angel: "Have a nice day".

We were moving away from the border

looking for somewhere to sleep

The two of us sharing the driving

Two hitchhikers slumped in the back seat.

Hitchhiker: "Hello".

I sneaked a quick look in the mirror

She gave me a smile

I said: "Is anyone hungry?"

Should we stop for a while?

So we pulled off into a layby

Her dress blew up over her head

I said: "Would you like to come with me?"

She said something foreign under her breath

and the sun shone down on her lovely young limbs

I thought to myself she's much to good for him

I lay down beside her with tears in my eyes

She said...
