 It's her brain's desire

 I'll think of her when I walk the strand
 On this true hormos a night

 Ed is dead  (4x)

 She's just rotting in stupid bliss
 With music on her bars uh
 Her face burning in the L.A. sun
 She got no got no fear of cars
 I better kick my strand cruiser
 To the friendlier oh oh oh oh oh oh

 Ed is dead  (4x)

 Ed is dead ...

 E. I. D., E. I. D., E. I. D., a nuh nuh nuh nuh no!

 (Lead guitar bits are just a high G note with a little 
 string bending.)

keep notes bent to pitch of fifteenth
until playing open notes.


The whole solo section is based on making a
almighty noise with open strings (no chords).
Use feedback, waggling the toggle switch, quickly
turning the volume knob on the guitar up and down
and scratching the strings with your pick or a 
slide or anything, right from the bridge up to 
the nut. Make it up as you go along and have fun.


Lyrics :

Esta pensando sobre viviendo con mi sister en New Jersey
Echo me dijo que es una vida buena
Enrique bien chevere

We'll keep well bred
We'll stay well fed
We'll have our sons
They will be all well hung

They'll come and play
Their friends will say
Your daddy's rich
Your mamma's a pretty thing

That maid Maria she is really OK

Vamos a jurgar por la playa

I keep gettin' friends
Looking like lesbiens
If we get bored
We'll move to California

They'll come and play
Their friends will say
Your daddy's rich
Your mamma's a pretty thing

That maid Maria she is really OK

Vamos a jurgar por la playa
