mayor we don’t really know the first thing about these people
or even what they want to build
say you don’t know me
or recognize my face
say you don’t care who goes
to that kind of place
knee deep in the hoopla
sinking in your fight
too many runaways
eating up the night
marconi plays the mamba
listen to the radio
don’t you remember
we built this city
we built this city on
clean efficient living
exactly
but mayor think about the businesses
already there what about them
they’re calling it economic redevelopment
apparently the bourbon no longer generates an
adequate tax revenue
that’s why i keep telling ya we need to
bring back naked jello wrestling thursdays
but this time check it we let women enter
maybe it’s time to cash it in anyway
whoa dennis what are you saying
it’s just
i’m sittin’ on this barstool
talkin’ like a damn fool
got the twelve o’clock news blues
and i’ve given up hope
for the afternoon soaps
and a bottle of cold brew
is it any wonder i’m not crazy
so chew a couple prozac come on dennis
is it any wonder i’m sane at all
you do wash your hands a lot
is it any wonder i’ve got too much clap time on my hands
and it’s tickin’ away
tickin’ away from me
so you sell but what do i do the bourbon is my life man
hold the phone you guys see who’s in today’s paper
monster rockers arsenal are breaking up
according to sources lead singer stacee jaxx
will leave the band after this tour to pursue a solo career
perfect right who gave stacee and arsenal their start
we did so
so what if we hosted their last gigever
the last arsenal show here
tell that wouldn’t generate an adequate tax revenue
plus stacee still owes me from that hotel
incident with the cool whip and the baby llama
love it
i just hope it’s enough
it’s gotta be i mean the mayor isn’t a total
money grubbing whore wink
mayor you’re not thinking clearly
mayor take ze money unt
rid this city

you’re not gonna get away with this
i can’t believe you still have his number
stacee it’s denbo

dennis dennis dupree listen
how would you like to do your arsenal
farewell show here at the bourbon
yeah well we already got something planned
for our last tour gig in portland so ah
i understand that but just imagine for a second
your last gig in a place that started it all
a lot of press on something like that
yeah it sounds cool but ah
and of course we’d put your name above
the band stacee jaxx and arsenal
one night only right before a solo albumwhich
just between you and me i’m so
glad you’re doing you know
what i always used to say about you
what
well you’re a jet fuel genius
you can solve the world’s problems
without even tryin’
it’s true
i have dozens of friends
and the fun never ends
that is as long as i’m buyin’
is it any wonder i’m not the president
i’d vote for you stacee
is it any wonder i’m null and void
i don’t even know what that means
is it any wonder i’ve got too much clap time on my hands
and it’s tickin’ away
tickin’ away from me
too much time on my hands
tick tick tickin’ away
too much time on my hands
i don’t know what to do
too much time on my hands
we will rid this city
too much time on my hands
of rock and roll
too much time on my hands
too much time on my hands
too much time
shall i call zee bulldozers
remember the night you with the baby llama
i'll do it
