Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was crawlin' through a festival way out west
I was thinkin' about love and the acid test
But first I got real dizzy with a real rockin' gang
And then I saw the coma girl on the excitement gang
[Verse 2]
And the rain came in from the wide blue yonder
Through all the stages, I wandered
[Verse 3]
Oh, coma girl
On the excitement gang
Mona Lisa
On a motorcycle gang
[Verse 4]
Coma girl
Coma girl
[Verse 5]
The coma girl was beatin' with the oil drum gang
Some fast food fanatic was burnin' down a burger van
Somebody was wailin' off their head
Nobody is rippin' the teen scene dead
[Verse 6]
And the rain came in from the wide blue yonder
I thought you and me might wander
[Verse 7]
Oh, coma girl
On the excitement gang
Mona Lisa
On a motorcycle gang
[Verse 8]
Coma girl
Coma girl
On a motorcycle gang
[Verse 9]
As the nineteenth hour was fallin' upon desolation row
Some outlaw band had the last drop on the go
Let's siphon up some gas, let's get this show on the road
Said the coma girl to the excitement gang
[Verse 10]
Into action, everybody sprang
And the oil drums were beatin' out, doolang, doolang
[Verse 11]
Coma girl
On the excitement gang
Oh, Mona Lisa
On a motorcycle gang
[Verse 12]
Coma girl
Doolang, doolang
Coma girl
Doolang, doolang
[Verse 13]
Oh, no, baby, come on, now, baby
Doolang, doolang
Oh, no, baby, come on, now, baby
Doolang, doolang
[Verse 14]
Doolang, doolang
Doolang, doolang
