 I got a friend in Fremont, He sells used cars, ya know.
 Well, he calls me up twice a year
 Just ask me how'd it go
 Pretty good,  not bad, I can't complain
 Actually  everything is just about the same
I  met a girl from Venus, and her insides were lined in gold
 Well, she did what she did said "How was it, kid?"
 She was politely told
 Pretty good,  not bad, I can't complain
 But actually  everything is just about the same
Moonlight  makes me dizzy
Sunlight  makes me clean
Your  light is the sweetest thing
 That this  boy has ever seen.
Molly  went to Arkansas, she got raped by Dobbin's dog
 Well, she was doing good till she went in the woods
 And got pinned up against a log
 Pretty good,  not bad, she can't complain
 Cause actually  all them dogs is just about the same
Moonlight  makes me dizzy
Sunlight  makes me clean
Your  light is the sweetest thing
 That this  boy has ever seen.
I  heard Allah and Buddah were singing at the Savior's feast
 And up the sky and Arabian rabbi
 Fed Quaker oats to a priest.
 Pretty good,  not bad, they can't complain
 Cause actually  all them Gods is just about the same
 Pretty good,  not bad, I can't complain
 Cause actually  everything is just about the same
