Lyrics
Well Eddie's got one crazy eye
That turns him into a cartoon when a pretty girl comes by
But 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
Louie told Eddie that he'd fix him up, but he ain't come back yet
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, yeah
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 working by this joint in a black and blue dress
And she looks at Louie who elbows Eddie, who says
"Don't tell me, lemme guess"
It's more trouble than it's worth
Ah, 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
Go on, 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
Who are living it up? (Yeah, we're living it up)
Oh, 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, we'll 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)
Now 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, 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 everything you want to do
You couldn't tell
It's more trouble than it's worth
This is more trouble than it's worth
Oh, wild and the only ones
Come on, tell me where you are
Oh wild, only ones
I'm waiting, you could tell me where you are
Oh wild, the only ones
Why don't you tell me where you are, yeah, yeah
