This is the Life

Oh, the wind it whistles down, the cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing, to the music vibe.
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair,
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
Songs, they get louder each one better than before...


And you're singing the songs, thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs, thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in, and nobody's home 'til four
Sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Roger Riner and his motley crew
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight?


And you're singing the songs, thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs, thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight? (WHERE?)
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

SPEEDS UP!

And you're singing the songs, thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
And you're gonna go, where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs, thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
And you're gonna go, where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
