Well, he's trying to survive up on Mulholland Drive

He's got the phone in the car in his hand

Everybody's trying to be a friend of mine

Even a dog can shake hands



He wants twenty per cent 'cause he knew you back when

Now they all want a piece of the band

Everybody's trying to be a friend of mine

Even a dog can shake hands



All the worms and the gnomes are having lunch at Le Dome

They're all living off the fat of the land

Everybody's trying to be a friend of mine

Even a dog can shake hands

We'll do the rest for you

Find a way to make it pay

Don't lose your head

You'll end up dead

Or you'll be living in the Valley someday



Abandon all hope and don't rock the boat

And we'll all make a few hundred grand

Everybody's trying to be a friend of mine

Even a dog can shake hands



You'll be making the scene 'til they pick your bones clean

No, they don't leave much for the fans

Everybody's trying to be a friend of mine

Even a dog can shake hands

We'll do the rest for you

Find a way to make it pay

Don't lose your head

You'll end up dead

Or you'll be living in the Valley someday
