Shelf Life - Love and Rockets
How many A&R men does it take to change a light bulb
I'll get back to you on that
How many spells and dollars does it take to make the magic
Of pulling legends from your hat
Will they take another sucker for an undersell
Regarding them with compliments and muskatelle
A honeymoon in Vegas in a plush hotel
Well that's a sad town in the morning light
How many bullets in the back does it take
To kill a singing cowboy
How much more of this b******t can you take
From the charming envoy
When you're making with the ballpoint on the dotted line
The Devil's in his heaven and your hair sublime
You fit the mold for stardom and the big bells chime
But it's gold leaf on a wild wild wind
And they're serving up your future with a twist of lime
Paying you in dollars for the perfect crime
And you're scratching off the silver for a nail of grime
And pissing in that bitter wind
Last month's color you've passed your sell by date
And your days are numbered
What is you shelf life What is you shelf life
What is you shelf life What is you shelf life
