Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
I used to hide my Camels in a paper bag
Well I only took them out when it was safe to drag
My first sixteen years in a catholic-boy suit
One father with a sixer and a steel-toe boot
You see we're all... (here today)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today, 'n' gone tomorrow
One night in the mirror I saw a movie star
So I flew to Hollywood in a neighbor's car
A pack of No-Doze, I'm a bundle of nerves
Laughing out loud as the highway curves
'Cause you know we're all here today...
(and gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today, 'n' gone tomorrow
(solo)
Twenty-two miles out of Pasadena
I picked up a hiker named Tina
Now we only been here a couple of weeks
Soakin' up the sun, the drugs and the freaks
We hit it off so we, we moved in together
Got a cat named Ringo and it purred like leather
We robbed a bank in Santa Monica
I bought a Caddy and a gold harmonica
We'd ride by day, we'd play by night
We're makin' love every night
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today, 'n' gone tomorrow
So we went up to Hef's to meet some bunnies
I saw Hugh, he was actin' funny
He handed me some grass and a vodka & gin
And that's about the time that Jack Webb walked in
He said
"Son, I'm gonna tell you something, it ain't pretty
There's a thousand ways to die in this naked city"
And we were here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
(You know we're) here today (gone tomorrow)
(You know we're) here today (gone tomorrow)
(You know we're) here today 'n' gone tomorrow
(Don't worry about it, pop) Here today
Here today
Well I only took them out when it was safe to drag
My first sixteen years in a catholic-boy suit
One father with a sixer and a steel-toe boot
You see we're all... (here today)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today, 'n' gone tomorrow
One night in the mirror I saw a movie star
So I flew to Hollywood in a neighbor's car
A pack of No-Doze, I'm a bundle of nerves
Laughing out loud as the highway curves
'Cause you know we're all here today...
(and gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)
Here today (gone tomorrow)

Here today
