Katy:
These are days of fret and fear
We got war and we got tears
All the optimists are begging in the streets

Times are tough so people go
To get their kicks before it blows
So after dark the party’s ragin' like a beast

The scene is swinging daddy-o it's on
Fire every night and so take your pick of
Dancing, vices, don’t you know there ain’t a lot of laughs round here much

This world's nothing but worry
It looks better when it's blurry
It’s good times 'til the sun comes up

......

I major in bad habits
Like thievery and skag, it's
A lifestyle not built to last, this I know

My love life's flawed 'cause I
Only go for girls who go for guys
But at least my heart never gets broke
I wake up sometime after noon drink my
Coffee black just like my mood and then I try to
Think of reasons I should move from either this bed or this dump

Most days it's a short list
I need money, need a fix
It's good times 'til the sun comes up

......

When the jonesing’s knocking at your door
It's not something that you can ignore
That need makes your bones all start shaking

I know you think I'm just a fool
But I got it all under control
The one talent I have is the art of escaping

.......

I make my pennies at the club
Fencing hot and sketchy stuff
My best friend Sheila’s always there at my side

We dance and make some deals
I pine away for her in heels
Getting loaded as we drift through the night
There's a thing or two I do not bother to think
Like the future or my mother, I drink
For this moment and no other, let the dice stop where they drop

This world's nothing but worry
Looks better when it's blurry
It’s good times 'til the sun comes up
