Lyrics[]
The first interview was out of a wrestler
Who's the maitre d' at the Bucks Owen Show
In the basement of the Empire State Building
And he's wearing his bronze and grey belt
With an atomic arm lock
On a lounge lizard at the Spanish Steps
And there were Ferrari automobiles
Sitting in the ground fifty million years ago
And there were James Brown records
Sitting in the ground fifty million years ago
And there was acrylic paint
Flying through the air fifty million years ago
The next interview was out of a gambler
Who keeps all his money in fifty dollar bills
And floats between Dallas and Vegas and Los Angeles
And he's standing outside the real motel
By a '68 Coupe Deville with his pool cue
And he's high on bullets and afraid of cobwebs
And he lost four hundred dollars at
The race track yesterday and he's
Going down to the ten pole club to look for a turkey
And there was hydrogen bombs
Sitting in the ground fifty million years ago
And there were lava lamps
Sitting in the ground fifty million years ago
And there were submarines
Floating in the ocean fifty million years ago
And there was green Japanese carpet
Sitting on the ground fifty million years ago
The last interview was out of a barker
Who owns a coin toss game
Who travels with the Ringling Brothers/Barnum & Bailey Circus
And he works six months and he earns a couple of grand
And he's sittin' at the Polo Lounge
With a blonde on each arm drinkin' GG's
And the waiters treat him like he's
A mafia chieftan and the people at
The next table think that he
Might be Russ Meyers
And he's laughing about all the suckers
Who threw down their money to impress their babes
And how those pennies add up
And there was a whole United Nations
Just sitting in the ground fifty million years ago
And there was the Astrodome and the Superdome
Sitting in the ground fifty million years ago
And there was the People's Republic of China
Sitting in the ground fifty million years ago
And there was pendulums and sand and Coors cans
In the ground fifty million years ago
