It Don't Last Long

I came out of oblivion

With two hit MTV songs

So Jackson quit his day job

Process serving Michael Milken

I bought a house out in the country

With my publishing advance

Geoff Ayeroff said

See? I knew you’d write a hit by accident

And I should have got down

Upon my knees and thanked the lord

Cause it don’t last long

Enjoy it while you can

Cause it don’t last long

It don’t last long

Enjoy it while you can

Cause it don’t last long

The second album

We recorded it out in Pioneertown

We tried to rent Frank Sinatra’s house

But the realtor shut us down

The album spawned three more singles

None of them sounded like grunge

But we were selling out theatres

It’s timing and it’s luck

And I should have got down upon

My knees and thanked the lord

Cause it don’t last long

Enjoy it while you can

It don’t last long

It don’t last long

Enjoy it while you can

It don’t last long

I was getting way too cocky

There was some bad behavior

But it didn’t really cost me

Selling 5k every week

But then I taught the audience to sing

The record company president

Direct line telephone number

We were dropped in just a week

I should have got down upon

My knees and thanked the lord

Cause it don’t last long

Enjoy it while you can

It don’t last long

It don’t last long

Enjoy it while you can

It don’t last long
