Sitting here on top of the world

I got everything I need from this world

Oh, tonight I got it right

Just one time

Cruising down the Sunset Strip

And there's nothing that's not

That's not within my grip

Oh, tonight I can fly

I can fly

Look at me for the very last time

I've climbed so high

I've got no place left to climb

And I know, no tomorrow

Rock star, pop star, everybody dies

All tomorrow's parties

They have happened tonight

And I know that I won't see tomorrow

Sitting on the Hollywood sign

Watching the girls get off the bus

Watching the danger in their eyes

When they leave with broken hearts

Their shredded valentines

I came here from a dirty dark street

There was no one there to protect me

To make the nightmares go away

It has to sparkle

It has to shine so hard

Look at me for the very last time

I've climbed so high

I've got no place left to climb

And I know, no tomorrow

Rock star, pop star, everybody dies

All tomorrow's parties

They have happened tonight

And I know that I won't see tomorrow

Turn on all the porno please

Been drowning here for days

Bad food, bad sex, bad TV and internet

Take all these stupid pills away

Climb down the boulevard

I'm coming down so fast

I'm coming down so hard

And I've said I can't stop

All those voices in your head

I don't sleep, I never dream

I just shut them up

Now I just keep screaming "run away!"

It's the last time

It's the last time

Look at me for the very last time

I've climbed so high

I've got no place left to climb

No, I know, no tomorrow

Before the sparkle in my eyes

Turns to straight night

Oh, this bleeding heart is still a valentine

I'm gonna ride this thing until the wheels fall off

'Cause girls like me, we always get what we want

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Diamonds and the promises and a million dollar bills

All the lives we're wasting in the Holloywood Hills

'Cause we know we're to good for tomorrow

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yesterday's girl or tomorrow's hot teens?

Were you jerking off to her or were you jerking off to me?

And I know that I won't know tomorrow

Yeah

Yeah, you want my massive power

You want my porno ways

I'm throwing them out

It's a wonder that you wait

Lawsuit diamond's Guns n Rubies

Baby au revoir

You rock'n'roll bitches

You can get what you want

You were made for me and I was made to you

With the keys to the Bel Air and the chateau too

Your little shit coated world

It is rotten to the core

I didn't know you were born without a soul

I've got voices screaming in my head

Are you jerking off in your bed?

It's not punk, it's not cool

It's not even boring

And it's not Eminem who's gonna save me

They're for real life

They tried to steal my soul

I've got pills when famous

I got pills when you're old

I've got pills 'cause I'm bored

I've got pills 'cause you're dead

I've got 'cause I am the worst and best dressed

I've got pills 'cause I feel more than twenty one

Got pills 'cause I know, baby, you're not the one

I've got pills for my coochie

'Cause baby, I'm sore

I've got pills 'cause you're mad

I've got pills 'cause I'm bored

Cruising down the Sunset Strip

And there is nothing that's not

That's not within my grip

Oh, tonight I got it right

Just one time
