Shelf Life |
| How many A&R men does it take to change a light bulb? |
| I’ll get back to you on that |
| How many spells and dollars does it take to make the magic |
| Of pulling legends from a hat? |
| Will they take another sucker for an undersell? |
| Regarding them with compliments and muskatelle |
| A honeymoon in Vegas in a plush hotel |
| Well, that’s a sad town in the morning light |
| How many bullets in the back does it take to kill a singing cowboy? |
| And how much more of this bullshit can you take |
| From the charming envoy? |
| When you’re making with the ballpoint on the dotted line |
| The Devil’s in his heaven and your hair sublime |
| You fit the mold for stardom and the big bells chime |
| But it’s gold leaf on a wild, wild, wind |
| And they’re serving up your future with a twist of lime |
| Paying you in dollars for the perfect crime |
| And you’re scratching off the silver for a nail of grime |
| And pissing in that bitter wind |
| Last month’s color you’ve passed your sell by date |
| And your days are numbered |
| What is you shelf life? |
| What is you shelf life? |
| What is you shelf life? |
| What is you shelf life? |
