I used to search for the ideal girl

The perfect little prettyness

I used to search for the ideal world

But frankly think it don't exist

So many times I get so afraid

So many ways I felt so betrayed

We get together on a Saturday night

And watch the whole world cave in

Little girl I wanna know

What you look for in a man

Is he tall, tough and handsome

With a continental teint

I just wanna be around

When the big world hits the ground

I don't wanna make a sound

When the sky comes tumblin'

Sky comes tumblin' down

I used to worry about the job that I had

I barely made enough to survive

Oh man I'm worried about the life that I live

Sometimes I barely made it home alive

But now I don't need to worry

There's no need to rush there's no need to hurry

You don't need a new job you don't need a new wife

You don't need to go far in your life

Little girl I wanna know

What you look for in a man

Does he have a lot of money

Even more than you can spend

I just wanna be around

When the big world hits the ground

I don't wanna make a sound

When the sky comes tumblin'

Sky comes tumblin' down

I used to play in a dead end band

I always ended up on my own

But now I play in a skeleton band

Nothing but skin and bones

Oh no I don't need sedation

I got my daily dose of radiation

We get together on a Saturday night

And watch each other's hair fall out

Little girl I wanna know

What you look for in a man

Does he sell a lot of records

With his Californian band

I just wanna be around

When the big world hits the ground

I don't wanna make a sound

When the sky comes tumblin'

Sky comes tumblin' down
