[Verse 1]
Give up your heart without hesitation
Is this the start of a great inebriation?
I wanna scream, so I scream until my lungs burst
I take a drink, but nothing satisfies the thirst
This place is crazy, baby let's do something drastic
Let's live it up before we're fuckin' geriatric
Your heart is restless, my heart is restless too
You take good care of me, I try to take good care of you
My brains are brick, don't you believe this is instigation
Use no apologies, any provocation
Ticking like a timebomb, waiting for the explode
Sticky little fingers, going where they shouldn't go
Another cigarette, a letter in the alphabet
Another number you forgot that you should not forget
Oh, how the avenues, are calling out to you
Come on baby, let's go, let's go have a drink or twenty-two
I got a little lady, baby got backbone
I tried and tried, but I can't seem to leave the girl alone
She bent me out of shape, and now I've got the shapes
This kind of loving be the [?]

[Bridge]
Hey, my mother used to say
When she tucked me in at night
"Everything will be alright,"
Those were the days
Now we say to [?]
As we tuck her in at night
"Everything will be alright
These are the days
These are the days..."
