The good time girl swoops down to take me into party town
But I resist, then I protest, then I give in and I get dressed
And laughing loud she pulls my hair, saying, "Tie it up, but let it down."
"Tonight, delight in party town."
And dizziness and gravity battle for the best of me
The dawn may have the rest of me
When the good time girl calls for me
We'll eat till heart's content, wild meats to feed our merriment
Our world becomes a carrousel for paupers, kings, the ne'r do well
Tongiht we're pirates on the open sea no quarter given for a lesson learned
Tomorrow there'll be bridges burned
And dizziness...
It's years since she swooped down, I've lost my taste for party town
But when life gets blue, I cannot cope, I look through my kaleidoscope
And there she is among the clouds, shouting, "What will be your epitaph?"
live true, live well, and belly laugh
But I resist, then I protest, then I give in and I get dressed
And laughing loud she pulls my hair, saying, "Tie it up, but let it down."
"Tonight, delight in party town."
And dizziness and gravity battle for the best of me
The dawn may have the rest of me
When the good time girl calls for me
We'll eat till heart's content, wild meats to feed our merriment
Our world becomes a carrousel for paupers, kings, the ne'r do well
Tongiht we're pirates on the open sea no quarter given for a lesson learned
Tomorrow there'll be bridges burned
And dizziness...
It's years since she swooped down, I've lost my taste for party town
But when life gets blue, I cannot cope, I look through my kaleidoscope
And there she is among the clouds, shouting, "What will be your epitaph?"
