Pack up all your dishes, make note of all good wishes

Say goodbye to the landlord for me, that son of bitch has always bored me

Throw out those L.A. papers, moldy box of vanilla wafers

Adios to all this concrete, gonna get me some dirt road backstreet

If I can just get off of that L.A. Freeway

Without gettin' killed or caught

They'll find it likely as not, with all the things that we have forgot
