I used to hide my Camels in a paper bag |
|
Well I only took them out when it was safe to drag |
|
My first sixteen years in a catholic-boy suit |
|
One father with a sixer and a steel-toe boot |
|
You see we're all... (here today) |
|
Here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
Here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
Here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
Here today, 'n' gone tomorrow |
|
One night in the mirror I saw a movie star |
|
So I flew to Hollywood in a neighbor's car |
|
A pack of No-Doze, I'm a bundle of nerves |
|
Laughing out loud as the highway curves |
|
'Cause you know we're all here today... |
|
(and gone tomorrow) |
|
Here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
Here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
Here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
Here today, 'n' gone tomorrow |
|
(solo) |
|
Twenty-two miles out of Pasadena |
|
I picked up a hiker named Tina |
|
Now we only been here a couple of weeks |
|
Soakin' up the sun, the drugs and the freaks |
|
We hit it off so we, we moved in together |
|
Got a cat named Ringo and it purred like leather |
|
We robbed a bank in Santa Monica |
|
I bought a Caddy and a gold harmonica |
|
We'd ride by day, we'd play by night |
|
We're makin' love every night |
|
Here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
Here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
Here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
Here today, 'n' gone tomorrow |
|
So we went up to Hef's to meet some bunnies |
|
I saw Hugh, he was actin' funny |
|
He handed me some grass and a vodka & gin |
|
And that's about the time that Jack Webb walked in |
|
He said |
|
"Son, I'm gonna tell you something, it ain't pretty |
|
There's a thousand ways to die in this naked city" |
|
And we were here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
Here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
(You know we're) here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
(You know we're) here today (gone tomorrow) |
|
(You know we're) here today 'n' gone tomorrow |
|
(Don't worry about it, pop) Here today |
|
Here today |
