I need a wrist cut for gamblin' and a mind that's in shambles A woman that can sleep somewhere else every night I need one more hot toddy behind the wheel of my Mazerati These Hollywood hills are so easy to drive Let there be highways and neon signs Oh to light up my way And let there be golden roads to walk up upon Lord if I may. I am unafraid of what waits for me, but of this I am sure There is a golden crown with my name engraved that waits for me on the opposite shore Let there be highways and neon signs Oh to light up my way And let there be golden roads to walk up upon Lord if I may.

You're screamin' All that I want is for you to feel like I do You're screamin' All that I want is for you to feel like I do Your arms hang long 'cause they're torn of socket so you keep your head cool and your hands in your pockets Chin set hard while your struttin the town Lookin' for a punk that wants to throw down You're screamin' All that I want is for you to feel like I do You're screamin' All that I want is for you to feel like I do TOMORROW NEVER COMES You're all smoke and mirrors I can't get near ya' But someday You will Learn how to love me By then I'll be above ya' forever love Ain't that the way of push and shove You won't see me around You're a real jet-setter Such a go-getter Got a house out in Cali. One in the Valley Oh an adolescent soul For a mountain of gold Well it was worth it you say To live for today And Tomorrow Never Comes And Tomorrow Never Comes And Tomorrow Never Comes Well you've changed your name And you've changed your mind so many times you do whatever is good for you and only you So full of yourself Ain't got no room for no one else And life's such a sweet Little thing now let's see You make enough distractions And you string 'em back to back Until your soul goes numb but at least while you're young You can live the life that you need You can live the life that you need You can live the life that you need Well you've changed your name And you've changed your mind so many times you do whatever is good for you and only you And Tomorrow Never Comes And Tomorrow Never Comes And Tomorrow Never Comes Top |
