 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
