The Long Plastic Hallway - Lyrics - Camper Van Beethoven

Camper Van Beethoven is an American alternative rock group formed in Redlands, California in 1983 and later located in Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Their style mixes elements of pop, ska, punk rock, folk, alternative country, and world music. The band initially polarized audiences within the hardcore punk scene of California's Inland Empire before finding wider acceptance and, eventually, an international audience. Their strong iconoclasm and emphasis on do-it-yourself values proved influential to the burgeoning indie rock movement.

Cigarettes and carrot juice Marijuana and lots of *** I threw the flower of youth into that stew The serpent tongues were red and pointy But they were wearing very cool shoes Who wouldn't wanna sell their soul? We waited in line for hours With VIP passes and bouquets of flowers To see the brand new siren sing her song The virgins were then thrown into volcanos A beating heart was held up in the air (aloft) And no expense (account) was spared. Quetzecotal and Busby Berkely Hanging out over Pasadena with Rodney on the ROQ and David Byrne Playing on a flying saucer Box O'Laffs was supporting Talking Heads Everyone was high or having a real good time.
