Lyrics

Pills and powders, baby, powders and pills We spent the night last night in Beverly Hills This chick, she looked just like Beverly Sills We got killed Tights and skirts, baby, skirts and tights We used to shake it up in Shaker Heights This chick, she looked just like Patty Smythe She seemed shaky but nice She said my name's Rick Danko, baby People call me One-Hour Photo I got some hazardous chemicals So drive around to the window She said my name's Robbie Robertson but people call me Robo I blew red white and blue right into a tissue I came right over the counter just to kiss you I came right over the counter just to kiss you Ginger and Jack and four or five Feminax Psycho eyes and a stovepipe hat A ray of light through tight white rayon slacks We got cracked Shoes and socks, baby, socks and shoes We spent the night last night in Newport News This chick, she looked just like Elizabeth Shue We got bruised She said my name's Steve Perry, baby People call me Circuit City I'm so well connected My UPC is dialed into the system She said my name's Neal Schon but people call me Nina Simone Some people call me André Cymone 'Cause I survived the '80s one time already And I don't recall it all that fondly So hold steady It was a blockbuster summer Moving pictures got us through to September They made a movie about me and you They made it half nude and half true It was a bloodsucking summer I spent half the time trying to get paid from our savior Swishing though the City Center I did a couple favors for these guys who looked like Tusken Raiders
