And then the night has passed and she's gone
Looking for lovers that she'll have later on
Found herself thinking, "this place is no good"
The bars close at 2am she misunderstood
"Will it be long before my home's in the hills"
She said as she awoke in east Hollywood still
And all us paupers we all say the same thing
Give me a wage to live on and I'd be king
Hear the love song of the young and sweet
Hear the love song of the young and sweet
Hear the love song of the young and sweet
As they learn how to slowdance for good
"Will it be long before my home's in the hills?"
She said as she awoke in east Hollywood still
And all us paupers we all say the same thing
Give me a wage to live on and I'd be king
Give me a wage to live on and I'd be king
Oh, give me a wage
Give me a wage
And I'd be king
Hear the love song of the young and sweet
And we learn how to slowdance for good
