tonite (electric lady sessions)

Yeah, everybody's singin' the same song

It goes tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

And then I realized these artists thought so much about dying

But truth be told, we all have the same end

Could make you cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

But I'm tellin' you this is the best news you're gettin' all week

As sure it's rulin' the airways

Oh, it remains the airwaves

And we're frankly thankful for this market psychology you're hippin' us to

Yeah, all the hits are sayin' the same thing

There's only tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Man, life is finite

But, shit, it feels like forever, it feels like forever

Is everybody feeling the same stuff?

We're all wild

Except for you

And you know who you are, this is a love song

And you're getting older

I promise you this, you're getting older

And there's improvements unless you're such a winner

But the future's a nightmare

And there's nothing I can do, there's nothing anyone can do about this

And, oh, oh, I'm offering you this chance to get even

I'm, oh, oh, you know very well the dialect of negation

Your enemies haunt you with spite and derision

But your friends are the ones who can put you in exile

But that's not right

Are you too sharp to be used?

Are you too sharp from being used?

By these bullying children of the fabulous

Raffling off limited edition shoes

And what did you do again?

Oh, I'm a reminder, the hobbled veteran of the disk shop inquisition

Sent to carry the, carry the sick filth

With my own late-era, sad, middle-aged ramblings

Every lover favors the same things

It's all touch me, touch me, touch me, touch me, touch me tonight

We maybe realize what it is we need before we die

And luck is always better than skill at things

We're flying blind

Oh, good, gracious! I sorta sound like my mom

But out of the little rooms and onto the streets

You've lost your internet and we've lost our memories

We had a paper trail which led to our secrets

Now embarrassing pictures have just all been deleted

By versions of selves that we thought were the best ones

Till versions and versions of others repeating

Come laughing at everything you thought was important

While still making mistakes that you thought you had learned from

And beautiful people know better than you

That cost in the long run, but they can't play the short game

And terrible people know better than you

They use and abuse oh, the once-so-dear listener

So you will be badgered and taunted and told that

You're missing some party that you'll never get over

You hate the idea that you're wasting your youth

That you stood on the background, oh, until you got older

But that's all lies, that's all lies

That's all lies, that's all lies
