I used to hide my Camels

in a paper bag

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

He said son we're all...



Here today gone tomorrow

Here today 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 see we're all just...



Here today gone tomorrow

Here today gone tomorrow



Twenty-two miles out of Pasadena

I picked up a hiker named Tina

Now oe've only been here

a couple of weeks

Soakin up the sun, the drugs

and the freaks

We hit it off

so we moved in together

Got a cat named Ringo

and it purred like leather

We robbed a bank in

Santa Monica

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



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

That was about the time that Jack

Webb walked in

He said "Son I'm gonna tell you

something and it ain't pretty

There's a thousand way to die in

this naked city"

Here today gone tomorrow

Here today gone tomorrow

You know we're

Here today gone tomorrow
