Hey L.a. Lyrics


Hey L.A.
There's an automatic teller machine in the emergency room
There's a meter maid, she arrives by broom
There's a bear in the air with a lullaby
And a big brown coat to keep you warm at night
There's a money tree and the ladder leans up against the trunk
But the steps are greased
Hey L.A., where you're from? Where have you gone now?
Where you're from? Where have you gone now?
Well, it looks as though your spaceship crashed
In Babylon
There's a plastic man with a plastic knife
In a rubber hand at a drastic price
Don't miss this show, you will be amazed
You're a shining star, a needle in the haze
There's a man upstairs with the fire below
There's the elevator and away you go
Hey L.A., where you're from? Where have you gone now?

Where you're from? Where have you gone now?
Well, it looks as though your spaceship crashed
In Babylon
There's a smooth operator, there's a famous governator
Everybody walks in L.A. on a backward escalator
There's a soul terminator, it's a sea of alligators
On each and every corner there's a broken hearted waiter
Hey L.A., where you're from?
Hey L.A., where you're from? Where have you gone now?
Where you're from? Where have you gone now?
Well, it looks as though your spaceship crashed
In Babylon

Smash Mouth is an alternative rock band from San Jose, California, United States that formed in 1994, the band comprises Steve Harwell (lead vocalist), Greg Camp (guitarist/songwriter), Paul De Lisle (bassist), and new drummer since early 2006, Jason Sutter (replacing Michael Urbano, who left due to creative differences). Their hit songs include "Walkin' On The Sun" (1997) and "All Star" (1999).

Focused at times playing "neo-ska" music, the band has adopted retro styles spanning several decades of popular music, as well as performing covers of popular songs such as The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" and War's "Why Can't We Be Friends" as well as cult favorites such as ? and the Mysterians' "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" (though their version owes more to The Colourfield's interpretation; in fact, the band at first believed it was a Colourfield original). Smash Mouth's first album Fush Yu Mang came out in June 1997. This album could be said to be "neo ska". Its top position in the charts was #19 (on Billboard). The promo for this album said that "While the twelve songs on Fush Yu Mang sound like they belong side by side, each has it's own feeling like the very '60's "Walkin' On The Sun," the surf 'n' turf of "Nervous In The Alley," the Buzzcocks like "Pet Names," the Mafia rock of "Padrino," and the fret rock of "Let's Rock"." Smash Mouth's second album Astro Lounge was released two years later, in June 1999. It is the band's most critically and commercially successful album to date. It reached #6 on the Billboard charts and it featured the massive hit All Star.

Smash Mouth released their third album Smash Mouth (Self-Titled) in November 2001. It has been said that this is the band's most experimental album to date. It reached #48 on Billboard charts. Smash Mouth's fourth album Get the Picture?, released in August 2003, wasn't as well-received by fans or the critics as previous albums (it only reached #100 on the Billboard charts). Smash Mouth released a Christmas cover album in November 2005 (The Gift Of Rock). Their newest album is called Summer Girl, and, after being delayed for over a year, was released on September 19th, 2006. Smash Mouth's music was used in the film "Shrek" and they starred on-screen as themselves in the turbulent finale of the all-star-comedy "Rat Race", while performing "All Star" on stage during the showdown.
