Ed Is Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Her head is in a bitter way
Her brain's on fire
She's just lookin' for the perfect wave
It's her brain's desire
I'll think of her when I walk the strand
On this true Hermosa night
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Chorus]
Ed is dead
Ed is dead
Ed is dead, huh-huh-huh
Ed is dead
[Verse 2]
She's just ridin' in stupid bliss
With music on her bars
Her face burnin' in the L.A. sun
She got no, got no fear of cars
I'll dedicate my strand cruiser
To the memory of her own
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Ed is dead
Ed is dead
Ed is dead, ha-ha, ha-ha
Ed is, yeah, Ed is
[Bridge]
Ed is dead
Ed is, yeah, Ed is
Ed is dead, ha-ha, ha-ha
Ed is, yeah
[Outro]
Ed is dead
Ed, a-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
(Ed is dead)
E-I-D, E-I-D (Ed is dead)
E-I-D, no, no, no, no, no
