The pros & cons of hitch-hiking


An angel on a Harley
Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone
Puts his bike up on it's stand
Leans back and then extends
A scarred and greasy hand...he said
He said, how ya doin bro?
Where ya been?
Where ya goin'?
Then he takes your hand
In some strange Californian handshake
And breaks the bone
[Whiny person:] "Have a nice day, hehe"

A housewife from Encino
Whose husband's on the golf course
With his book of rules
Breaks and makes a 'U' and idles back
To take a second look at you
You flex your rod
Fish takes the hook
Sweet vodka and tobacco in her breath
Another number in your little black book

These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
Oh babe, I must be dreaming

I'm standing on the leading edge
The Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes
Jump, says Yoko Ono
I'm too scared and too good looking, I cried
Go on, she says
Why don't you give it a try?
Why prolong the agony all men must die
Do you remember Dick Tracy?
Do you remember Shane?
[Child:] "And mother wants you."
Could you see him selling tickets
Where the buzzard circles over
[Child:] "Shane."
The body on the plain
Did you understand the music Yoko
Or was it all in vain?
[Child:] "Shane..."
The bitch said something mystical
(Herro)
So I stepped back on the kerb again

These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
Oh babe, I must be dreaming again
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Waters was the primary lyricist and composer for Pink Floyd until 1985, when he left the band due to internal conflicts. After his departure from Pink Floyd, Waters embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as *The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking* (1984), *Radio K.A.O.S.* (1987), and *Amnesiac* (2001). His works are characterized by often political and social lyrics that address themes such as war, violence, consumerism, and the loss of identity. Among his most famous songs are "Another Brick in the Wall", "Comfortably Numb", "Us and Them", and "Money". Waters is considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, with an indelible mark on progressive rock music.
