Living It Up Lyrics - Twelve Bars Past Midnight - Rickie Lee Jones

Eddie's got one crazy eye 

that turns him into a cartoon 

when a pretty girl walks by 

and 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 

and Louie told Eddie that he'd fix him up 

but he ain't come back yet 

well, 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 

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 walking by his joint 

in a black and blue dress 

she looks at Louie who elbows Eddie who says 

"don't tell me, lemme guess." 

It's more trouble than it's worth 

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 

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... 

Oh, who are living it up 

oh yeah, we're living it up 

oh yeah, 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 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 

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 

and 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 anything you want to do 

you couldn't tell 

If it's more trouble than it's worth 

ah, this is more trouble than it's worth 

Oh Wild and the Only ones 

tell him where you are --- 

Oh Wild and the Only ones 

I'm waiting you could 

tell him where you are --- 

Oh Wild and the Only ones 

why don't you tell him where you are?
