Hmmm. Lots of choices here. I’m going to go with either Heavy D, Tommy Chong or Caesar… Any of those who you were thinking of?

Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze

But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel
Duh! Priscilla Presley. Should have known all along.
Bobby Dylan…
There it is!
