How many A&R men does it take to change a light bulb? I'll get back to you on that How many spells and dollars does it take to make the magic Of pulling legends from your hat? Will they take another sucker for an undersell? Regarding them with compliments and muskatelle A honeymoon in Vegas in a plush hotel Well, that's a sad town in the morning light How many bullets in the back does it take To kill a singing cowboy? How much more of this bullshit can you take From the charming envoy? When you're making with the ballpoint on the dotted line The Devil's in his heaven and your hair sublime You fit the mold for stardom and the big bells chime But it's gold leaf on a wild, wild, wind And they're serving up your future with a twist of lime Paying you in dollars for the perfect crime And you're scratching off the silver for a nail of grime And pissing in that bitter wind Last month's color you've passed your sell by date And your days are numbered What is you shelf life? What is you shelf life? What is you shelf life? What is you shelf life?
