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

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

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
