[Verse]
He gets high on cigarettes and coffee,
Lennon and McCartney, Willie and Merle
Smokin' C's out back of Lucky Seven,
Film it at 11, dead to the world
[Chorus]
Joey had the ladies in his freeze frame,
Playing at the wrong game, dishing out the wrong blame
Mikey took the cash and went to DC
Now he's on the TV looking for a new fame
[Verse]
Making movies all over the city,
Neon lights are pretty, but nights are long
Second crew in just as many days,
The cast is in a haze between right and wrong
[Chorus]
Prada bags lined up along the floor,
The girls scream out for more, but the lead is out the door
Take the bottle out into the skyway,
My way or the highway, looking for a new score
[Solo]
[Verse]
Trailer park in the cover of the dark,
He tries to make his mark, but she just ran away
Filling reels from Burbank to La Jolla,
'98 Toyota hunting for prey
[Chorus]
Steely Dan was playing on the hi-fi,
Something from Katy Lied going back to seven-five
She was living life just like her picture
No one's gonna miss her, looking for a new dive
[Verse]
She gets high on cigarettes and coffee,
Lennon and McCartney, denim and pearls
Smokin' J's out back of Lucky Seven,
Watch it at 11, dead to the world
