4:56am (For The First Time Today - Part I) Songtext / Lyric

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?

Child: "And mother wants you"

Could you see him selling tickets

Where the buzzard circles over

Child: "Shane"

The body on the plain

Did you understand the music Yoko

Or was it all in vain?

Child: "Shane"

The bitch said something mystical "Herro"

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
