Heartattack and Vine lyrics

Liar, liar with your pants on fire

White spades hangin' on the telephone wire

Gamblers reevaluate along the dotted line

You'll never recognize yourself on Heartattack and Vine

Doctor, lawyer, beggar manthief

Philly Joe Remarkable looks on in disbelief

If you want a taste of madness you'll have to wait in line

You'll probably see someone you know on Heartattack and Vine

Boney's high on china white, Shorty found a punk

Don't you know there ain't no devil? There's just God when he's drunk

Well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line

What you say you meet me down on Heartattack and Vine

See that little Jersey girl in the see-through top

With the pedal pushers, sucking on a soda pop

Well I bet she's still a virgin but it's only twenty-five 'til nine

You can see a million of 'em on Heartattack and Vine

Better off in Iowa, against your scrambled eggs

Than crawling down Cahuenga on a broken pair of legs

You'll find your ignorance is blissful every goddamn time

Your're waitin' for the RTD on Heartattack and Vine

Boney's high on china white, Shorty found a p-punk

Don't you know there ain't no devil? There's just God when he's drunk

Well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line

What you say you meet me down on Heartattack and Vine

Liar liar with your pants on fire

White spades hangin' on the telephone wire

Gamblers reevaluate along the dotted line

You'll never recognize yourself on Heartattack and Vine

Doctor, lawyer, beggar, man, thief

Philly Joe Remarkable looks on in disbelief

If you want a taste of madness you'll have to wait in line

You'll probably see someone you know on Heartattack and Vine

See that little Jersey girl in the see-through top

With the peddle pushers, sucking on a soda pop

Well I bet she's still a virgin but it's only twenty-five 'til nine

You can see a million of 'em on Heartattack and Vine

Boney's high on china white, Shorty found a punk

Don't you know there ain't no devil? There's just God when he's drunk

Well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line

What you say you meet me down on Heartattack and Vine
