Lyrics

It Don’t Last Long

I came out of oblivion
With two hit MTV songs
So Jackson quit his day job
Process serving
Michael Milikin

I bought a house out in the country
With my publishing advance
Geoff Ayeroff said <pause>
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

Hoooooo
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) sinatras house
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

Hoooo
it don’t last long
Enjoy it while you can
It don’t last long
Solo

Solo

Cause 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

Hoooooo
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

Hoooo
it don’t last long
Enjoy it while you can
It don’t last long
