	The first time we flew it It was ? ? ? ? ? ? and cramped The vodka running out half-way across the atlantic Even the steward screamed and joined in it We didnt think we were going to make it Now were stretched out in wide, furry seats Flicking through menus A walk to the bar and theres as much screw-top champagne as we can drink Were so easy Taking turns having our photos taken Sitting in front of smoked windows Decanters of cheap whiskey in our hands Drive into manhattan on a date with a starlet who's just talent Thats what people pay the money to see Who are we to argue? Five hours now it's been going on And still were watching all of it Can you really believe all this? Can he really lie in bed at night and marvel at his own genius? When do you lose the ability to step back And get a sense of your own ridiculousness? Theyre only songs Midnight, and it's all over Now it can really make us laugh Were standing on our heads drinking sours of crystel schnapps Now were unable to step back or step forward Swallowing a swallow Tasting it again, it's not so unpleasant Perhaps it's an acquired taste The first time, it makes you sick Then, bit by bit, it becomes delicious Showbiz people Always there to be interested in what you say We are artists; we are sensitive and important We nod our heads earnestly Already half-way down the champagne On our way to leaving the place dry A $2,000 bar bill Showbiz picks up the tab And were on our way laughing Laughing at what? Los angeles, eight days in And our sense of ironys running pretty thin All the friends weve made Piano interlude not transcribed this time, sorry...just improvise Its 2 am, it's closing time at the dresden Marty and layton play one last sleepy strangers in the night And the last of the martinis dribble down our chins Were sitting, chasing the conservation around the table Jesus, how long have I been in this state? The limousines still waiting outside Anything you want to do? Anywhere you want to go? Were on our way to the airport and a plane to vegas So many nights lying in bed shaking Dreaming of pushing my daughter around the supermarket The joy of seeing all those colours and shapes reflect in her wide eyes My head leaning on the window And were driving through the empty l.a. streets And everything seems silent and beautiful A guys face hits the floor Police revolvers glistening in the streetlight Onto melrose and lurching through a sea of halloweeen transvestites The flights cancelled, but it doesnt matter We turn this corner to a way that takes us wherever Up to sunset We creep up the drive to the shattuck The suite belushi died in Or the one morrison hung out the window Oh, Ill go for jims I would fancy a hotel window-hanging, myself, tonight, man Straight over to the mini-bar Open the champagne -- one sip and it's left to wake up to Anyone hungry? A team of uniformed waiters lay out an elaborate table for all us to ignore Oh, the irony How were used to living Back in london on a cold friday night Do you want another drink? Well, I could try Perhaps we could make it to the atlantic 600 yeards, twenty minutes later Were pushing through the waiting crowd, all fish eyes An exclusive door policy Exclusively for arseholes And tonight? well, a nod of our heads, and were inside Falling down the red, velvety stairs Limbs flaying, hands searching for something to steady Pick ourselves up, nothing broken Just aches in the morning No one seems to notice I find a table, champagne arrives Ive been so drunk, I sit and look at you We try and talk for the first time in a long time Drunken confession You shiver, it made you feel sick We use the rent money to pay the bill Bumping shoulders, we stumble out into soho Slipping over the sleeping bags Shouting for taxis
