BMI Well, he's trying to survive up on Mulholland Drive He's got the phone in the car in his hand Everbody's trying to be a friend of mine Even a dog can shake hands He wants twenty percent 'Cause he knew you back when Now they all want a piece if 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 Everbody's trying to be a friend of mine Even a dog can shake hands Sign Page 42 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 some day 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 Sign Page 42 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 some day Well, I'm trying to survive up on Mulholland Drive And I get it any way I can Everybody's trying to be a friend of mine Even a dog can shake hands
