Hit it!
This ain't no disco
It ain't no country club either
This is LA!

"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos of nothing
He says his name's William but I'm sure
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his
whole
life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts in suits

They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store too
Well, they're nothing like Billy and me, cause

[Chorus]
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard

I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels
From his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar
Then he lights every match in an oversized pack
Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers
before blowing and cursing them out
- And he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on
the floor

And a happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads

Chorus

Otherwise the bar is ours,
The day and the night and the car wash too
The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty
cars
The sun and the moon but

Chorus

Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I will believe

Broken in two
I know your'e on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe

Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key

Never again
Would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe

That not everyting is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
Seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe

I woke up and called this morning
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore

I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's six AM and I'm alone

Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending
To the bad day I was beginning
When you go all I know is you're my favorite mistake

Your friends act sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game

Now here comes your secret lover
She'll be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames.

Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending
To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending
When you go all I know is you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake

Well maybe nothing lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holding on this way

Did you know could you tell you were the only one
That I ever loved?
Now everything's so wrong
Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry?
Now you're my favorite mistake
Yeah you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake

She was born in november 1963
The day Aldous Huxley died
And her mama believed
That everyone could be free
So her mama got high high high
And her daddy marched on birmingham
Singing mighty protest songs
And he pictured all the places
Where he knew that she'd belong
He failed and taught her young
The only thing she'd need
To carry on
He taugh her how to

Run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run
So run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run
Past the arms of the familiar
And their talk of better days
To the comfort of the strangers
Slipping out before they say
So long
Baby loves to run

She counts out all her money
In the taxi on the way to meet her plane
Stares hopeful out the window
At the workers fighting
Trough the pouring rain
She's searching trough the stations
For an unfamiliar song
And she pictures all the places
Where she knows she still belongs
And she smiles the secret smile
Because she knows exactly how
To carry on

So run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run
So run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run
From the old familiar faces and
Their old familiar ways
To the comfort of the strangers
Slipping out before they say
So long
Baby loves to run
She's searching trough the stations
For an unfamiliar song
And she pictures all the places
Where she knows she still belongs
And she smiles the secret smile
Because she knows exactly how
To carry on

Run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run
So run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run...

Hey let's party, let's get down, let's turn the radio on
This is the meltdown
Get out the camera, take a picture
The drag queens and freaks are all out on the town
And Cowboy Jane's in bed
Nursing a swollen head

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov
Don't like the scene anyhow
I dropped acid on a Saturday night just to see what the fuss was about
Now there goes the neighborhood

The photo chick made to look sickly is standing in her panties, in the shower
She plays guitar in the bathroom while the police dust her mother's plastic
flowers
And Schoolboy John's in jail
Making a killing through the U.S. Mail

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov
Don't like the scene anyhow
I dropped acid on a Saturday night just to see what the fuss was about
Now there goes the neighborhood

Neighborhood?
Now there goes the neighborhood

This is the movie of the screenplay of the book about a girl who meets a
junkie
The messenger gets shot down just for carrying the messages to a flunky
We can't be certain who the villains are 'cause everyone's so pretty
But the afterparty's sure to be a wing-ding as it moves into your city, oh

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov
Don't like the scene anyhow
I dropped acid on a Saturday night just to see what the stink was about
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov
Don't like the scene anyhow
I dropped acid on a Saturday night just to see what the fuss was about
There goes the neighborhood
Ooh?
Now there goes the neighborhood

Darling, I'm killed.
I'm in a puddle on the floor
Waiting for you to return.
Oh what a thrill,
Fascination's galore.
How you tease, how you leave me to burn,

It's so deadly my dear
The power of having you near.
Until that day,
Until the world falls away,
Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes,
See it in your eyes,
Tomorrow Never Dies.

Darling you've won,
It's no fun.
Martinis, girls and guns,
It's murder on our love affair.
But you bet your life
Every night
While you're chasing the morning light
You're not the only spy out there.

It's so deadly my dear,
The power of wanting you near.
Until that day,
Until the world falls away,
Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes,
See it in your eyes,
Tomorrow Never Dies.

Until that day,
Until the world falls away,
Until you say there'll be no more goodbyes,
See it in your eyes,

Until that day,
Until that day,
Until that day.
