Lyrics

Hey, hey, I know it wasn't new york
Where I lost my mind
Hey, hey, I know I must have left it
It was back home all the time

And where were you while we lay
So drunk that we died?
Hey, hey, I know, but who could blame us?
Under pressure
And I know
I should have stayed in bed

Hey, hey, I know it's just a toothache
I won't even cry
Hey, hey, the candy store prescriptions
All lined up in the aisles

And where were you while we lay
Shipwrecked in denial?
Hey, hey, it's just a little pill to help you
Sleep right through the night
I should have stayed in bed
And I know
I should have stayed in bed

I know I should have stayed in bed because
Tomorrow's gonna be another party
You stay too long until the lights get lonely
Oh, tomorrow's gonna be another party
Wait too long til we
All stay out of the sun
Sun
I know, I know, it wasn't new york
