Living It Up Lyrics

Living It Up

Rickie Lee Jones
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Eddie's got one crazy eye
         that turns him into a cartoon
         wahen a pretty girl comes by
         and there's nothin' here to do anymore
         he sits on the stoop all day
         like there's something he's waiting for
         Cunt-finger Louie picks up Eddie in the alley
         he's got all those guys with him
         from that town where they all look like Frankie Valli
         they speak fluently blonde
         from her legs to her cigarette
         and Louie told Eddie that he'd fix him up
         but he ain't come back yet
         well, you know
         It's more trouble than it's worth
         it's more trouble than it's worth
         Oh Wild and the Only ones
         Tell him where you are ---
         Oh Wild and the Only ones
         Tell him where you are
         Tell him where you are
         Zero quit school
         and she lost her job again
         and then her boyfriend beat her up
         and now he won't let her in
         so she's walking by his joint
         in a black and blue dress
         she looks at Louie who elbows Eddie who says
         "don't tell me, lemme guess."
         It's more trouble than it's worth
         he's more trouble than he's worth
         Oh Wild and the Only ones
         Tell him where you are ---
         Oh Wild and the Only ones
         Tell him where you are
         Well at first when it was this way
         when they're the only ones
         and you've got all these ideas
         you never tell to anyone
         there are always magnets
         pulling each of you there
         living every story you'd dare
         to be the only ones
         the only ones...
         Oh, who are living it up
         oh yeah, we're living it up
         oh yeah, we'll be living it up
         oh yeah, we're living it up
         gotta be living it up
         oh yeah, we're living it up
         oh yeah, we're living it up
         oh yeah, we're living it up
         oh yeah, we're living it up
         oh yeah, we're living it up
         Louie and Eddie found a reason then and there
         carried her over the bridges like fluttering pages they didn't care
         in the terminal where dreams
         let so many tickets through
         when strangers look in faces
         and see somebody there they knew
         you might meet me tomorrow
         as all the lights are blooming green
         and you're feeling a little lonely,
         a little sad, a little mean
         remember a place
         inside of that hotel
         where you could do anything you want to do
         you couldn't tell
         If it's more trouble than it's worth
         ah, this is more trouble than it's worth
         Oh Wild and the Only ones
         tell him where you are ---
         Oh Wild and the Only ones
         I'm waiting you could
         tell him where you are ---
         Oh Wild and the Only ones
         why don't you tell him where you are?
