Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

Dada

    I used to hide my Camels in a paper bag
    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
    He said son we're all...

    Here today, gone tomorrow
    Here today, 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-Doz I'm a bundle of nerves
    Laughing out loud as the highway curves
    'Cause you see we're all just...

    Here today, gone tomorrow
    Here today, gone tomorrow

    Twenty-two miles out of Pasadena
    I picked up a hiker named Tina
    Now we've only been here a couple of weeks
    Soakin' up the sun, the drugs and the freaks
    We hit it off, so we moved in together
    Got a cat named Ringo and it purred like leather
    We robbed a bank in Santa Monica
    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

    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
    That was about the time that Jack Webb walked in
    He said, "Son I'm gonna tell you something
    And it ain't pretty
    There's a thousand ways to die in this naked city!"

    Here today, gone tomorrow
    Here today, gone tomorrow
    Here today, gone tomorrow
    You know we're
    Here today and gone tomorrow
