You live or you survive
Completely sleep deprived
Best two out of three
Another Sunday night
Best three out of five
Best four out of seven
A Friday night divine
Direct deposit signed
Best five out of nine
It's fleeting but it's fine
All part of the design
Best six of eleven
The days only started getting shorter last week
We got a long way to go before the leaves fall down
But I've got a penny burning in my purse
Put on your favorite sweater, spend the whole night out
Down by the riverfront
You can make a reservation cheap at Charlie's
Down by the riverfront
You can book the penthouse suite for a song
So sing with me and follow up into the sky
The elevator ride
Shed your worries and your wrongs
It's fleeting but it's fine
All part of the design
Come on baby, come on
Waste away my petty days
Sunbathing in the rain again
Ooh I waste away my petty days
You'll find me down by the riverfront, where the fuck you think I been?
Tickets to the show tonight
Dressed to impress, all the while I've been up so stressed
I abandon all my virtue in a breath
I need a holiday, I need to get away
From the City of the Flies
The elevator ride
Penthouse vertigo
It's fleeting and it's fine
All part of the design
Save your troubles for tomorrow
Waste away my petty days
Sunbathing in the rain again
Amen! I waste away my petty days
You'll find me down by the riverfront, where the fuck you think I been?
Waste away my idle time
With a rubber bullet in my eye
I turn my blinded sight to death decried
You'll find me down by the riverfront, the water helps me sleep at night
Hey
I got my way
I got my want
I got my Jaguar parked out front
I got my say
I got my lay
I got no reason to complain
I got my way
I got my crown
Now let's all have another round
No money down
No shipping rate
Your free trial starts today
Would it be so wrong
To shut my eyes?
Would it be so wrong to spend
The time you're lent?
C'mon, you'll find me down by the riverfront, where the fuck you think I been?

Put your fuckin shoes on, let's get ready to go
Quit dragging your feet son, it's past time we hit the road
Get a fuckin move on, time to venture out on your own
Put your fuckin shoes on, let's get ready to go
'Cause it's time to choose vocation,
Change location, take out a loan
Because that's just what my father did
And all his fathers before him
Grab that money while you're young
Never mind what you become
With adolescence all but done
It's time you made a man out of my son
So put your fuckin shoes on and get ready to run
Until you die
Go to sleep, get up early
Go to work and do it again
Live your life in a factory
It's just a part of being a man
Never change, never worry
I guess it's all that I really am
Give it time
When you're my age you'll understand
Put your fuckin shoes on, let's get ready to go
Time to fill in applications, expectations, and gender roles
Because that's just what my father told me
I pass his wisdom used to mold me
A real man earns all his own
A real man works to the bone
That aching pain you'll learn to love
Wear it like a scar you're proud of
In 20 years, when you get home
Tell your son to get off his phone
It's time to go
Give your mind, give your free time
Go to sleep and get up again
Live and die in a coal mine
Chasing paper up 'til the end
I guess I failed history
Doomed to repeat it like my old man
If you make it to my age, you'll understand
Put your fuckin shoes on, kiddo
Real men earn all they own
Put your fuckin shoes on, kiddo
All you are is all you own
Go to sleep, get up early
Go to work and do it again
Live and die in a factory
It's just a part of being a man
Never change, never worry
I guess it's all that I really am
If you make it to my age you'll understand
If you make it to my age you'll understand

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
Music's for the sad man
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the mad man
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really wanna live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really wanna live forever?
Forever
Forever young
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are like melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't wanna perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures given up today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Well, let them come true
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really wanna live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really wanna leave forever?
Forever
Forever

We were driving U.S. Highway 41
You were young and I was young
Yellow light cut through the night
80, humid, foggy, bright
The moon was new, the streets were wet
Up since twilight sun had set
Black sky dwindling, dawn was yet to come
So why'd I go and write this down?
Do you remember having time to spare?
Is the future just as we had it become?
Because it caught me unaware
So why'd I go and write this down?
Do you remember having time to breathe?
Is the future just as we had it become?
It's only just begun

Hey
Handshake and name
My twenty twenties
They start today
I'm wide awake
Yeah wide awake
My twenty twenties
They start today
Come
Please take a seat
I'll get you started
Something to eat
Something to drink
Oh if you like
We got a special tonight I think you might like to try
We spare no expense
Our assets your excess
Our patrons can relax
Right off the train tracks
Conveniently located
Five star hotel, rated
Best by the Town Mouse
Our frozen margaritas on the house
Welcome to Charlie's Pub n' Grill
Can I take your order, get your drinks, and run the bill
So raise a glass to my decline
Glamour, charm, and romance come at too steep of a price
Cash
From the hotel
These fuckin' assholes
Don't tip so well
They're VIPs
Oh by the way
You parked your Mercedes in a fire lane
And as we speak
It's trickling down
Into my landlord's fuckin bank account
I'll take the train
I need an out
But to get a ticket
I'd have to have an employee discount
We spare no expense
Our assets your excess
Our patrons can relax
Right off the train tracks
Conveniently located
Five star hotel, rated
Best by the Town Mouse
Our frozen margaritas on the house
Welcome to Charlie's Pub n' Grill
Can I take your order, get your drinks, and run the bill
So raise a glass to my decline
Glamour, charm, and romance come at too steep of a price
Vodka tonic, whiskey, rum, tequila, that's right
Margaritas on the house tonight
We're coping any way we can
But I'll never get a ticket at the rate that they demand
Señorita, I complete ya, night's still young
Guarantee ya really need a night undone
Baby make me a margarita, mamma mia, I go numb
"Where I come from, when I was young..."
It's hard to heed ya, when it's hard to feed a house of one
"We can't afford to pay you more, 'cause..."
We spare no expense
Our assets your excess
Our patrons can relax
Right off the train tracks
Conveniently located
Five star hotel, rated
Best by the Town Mouse
Our frozen margaritas on the house
Welcome to Charlie's Pub n' Grill
Can I take your order, get your drinks, and run the bill
Oh yeah, so raise a glass to my decline
Glamour, greed and gluttony all part of the design
Vodka tonic, whiskey, rum, tequila, that's right
Margaritas on the house tonight
We're coping any way we can
But I'll never get a ticket at the rate that they demand
