This Is The First Night

This is the first night

of the rest of our lives

I can’t help wonder

“How is it we’re still alive?”

Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives

Oh Yeah and I said

welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives

We stayed up all night long

laughing singing in the streets

The Clash Ramones The Pogues our voices hoarse

our bodies weak and ready for sleep

Lean against me wipe your bloodshot eyes as I wipe mine

And from these rooftops we’ll watch the sun rise

Ain’t this the life? Yeah it’s the first night

of the rest of our lives

I can’t help wonder

“How is it we’re still alive?”

Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives

With just a half tank of gas 150 miles to go

no cash no food

We turned the engine off every time that we went down hill

and it’s on with the show

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry?

Oh Yeah and I said

All I know is that I am alive I’m really alive

This is the first night

of the rest of our lives

I can’t help wonder

“How is it we’re still alive?”

Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives

Oh Yeah and I said

welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives

WE heard “You there!” and jumped from the train

ran up the tracks all the while you screaming back

“Kiss my ass!”

We’re living our lives I’m livin’ and yeah

and I’m doin’ fine Oh yeah oh yeah I’m doing fine!!!

This is the first night

of the rest of our lives

I can’t help wonder

“How is it we’re still alive?”

Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives

yeah

welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives
