Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pills and powders, baby, powders and pills
We spent the night last night in Beverly Hills
Thick chick, she looked just like a Beverly Sills
We got killed
[Verse 2]
Tights and skirts, baby, skirts and tights
We used to shake it up in Shaker Heights
This chick, she looked just like Patty Smyth
She seemed shaky, but nice
[Verse 3]
She said "My name's Rick Danko
Baby, people call me one hour photo
I got some hazardous chemicals
So drive around to the window"
[Verse 4]
She said "My name's Robbie Robertson
But people call me robo
I blew red, white and blue right into a tissue
I came right over the counter just to kiss you
I came right over the counter just to kiss you
[Verse 5]
Ginger and Jack and four or five Feminax
Psycho eyes and a stovepipe hat
A ray of light from tight white rayon slacks
We got cracked
[Verse 6]
Shoes and socks, baby, socks and shoes
We spent the night last night in Newport News
This chick, she looked just like Elizabeth Shue
We got bruised
[Verse 7]
She said "My name's Steve Perry
Baby, people call me Circuit City
I'm so well connected
My UPC is dialed into the system"
[Verse 8]
She said "My name's Neal Schon
But people call me Nina Simone
Some people call me Andre Cymone
'Cause I survived the '80s one time already
And I don't recall it that fondly
So hold steady
[Verse 9]
It was a blockbuster summer
Moving pictures got us through to September
They made a movie about me and you
They made it half nude and half true
[Verse 10]
It was a blockbuster summer
I spent half the time trying to get paid for my Savior
Swishing through the city center
I did a couple favors for these guys
That looked like Tuscan Raiders
