The Twang - Drinking in L.A. Lyrics

I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes
When Jonny came over with a script surprise
A Mafioso story with a twist
A To Wong Fu-Julie Newmar Hitch
Get your ass out of bed he said, I'll explain it on the way
But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day

And I say, what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six?
I got the fever for the flavour
The payback will be later
But still I need a fix

And the girls on the bus kept laughing at us
As we rode on the 10 back to Quinton again
Blaring out the g-funk sipping on stolen gin
Just me and a friend feeling kind of groovy, workin' on a movie (yeah, right)

But we did nothing, absolutely bubkiss that day
And I'll say, what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six?
(With my mind on my money and my money on my beer, beer)
I know that life is for the taking
So I better wise up and take it quick

Well some men man they wanted to hurt us
And other men said we weren't worth the fuss
You could see 'em all bitching by the bar
About the fine line between the rich and the poor
Then Jonny turned to me and said what you think we got done son?
Well we got a conclusion and I guess that's something
So I ask you what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six?
I got the fever for the nectar, and the payback will be later
Still I need a fix
