The King of Araby is coming home 
 
 It's bumper touching bumper on the motorway 
 
 The sun is in the sky just now 
 
 But the road is grey 
 
 They drive in Winnebagos from the Everglades 
 
 Pulled over by the troopers in the mirror shades 
 
 The Caravan is sorry 
 
 The driver has a twenty and change 
 
  
  And we're leaving all the road for dead 
 
 We're getting tired of the twists and turns 
 
 You gotta go when human nature calls 
 
 We're driving, we're driving 
 
 Through the valley of malls 
  
 
 And God forgive the passengers if we should fail 
 
 To find a penny fountain of a half-off sale 
 
 I need a merchant 
 
 I've just started searching for the Holy Grail 
 
 Fighting for the freedom from a common bond 
 
 To be a barracuda in the guppy pond 
 
 So little time for so many things to try on 
  
 
 And we're leaving all the road for dead 
 
 We're getting tired of the twists and turns 
 
 You gotta go when human nature calls 
 
 We're driving, we're driving 
 
 Through the valley of malls
