Courtney Love – Sunset Strip lyrics
Sitting here on top of the world
I got everything
I need from this world
Oh tonight, I got it right
Just one time

Cruising down the Sunset Strip
And there is nothing that's not,
That's not within my grip
Oh tonight, I can fly
I can fly

Look at me for the very last time
I've climbed so high
I've got no place left to climb
And I know, no tomorrow

Rock star, pop star, everybody dies
All tomorrow's parties
They have happened tonight
And I know that I won't see tomorrow

Sitting on the Hollywood sign
Watching the girls get off the bus
Watching the danger in their eyes
When they leave with broken hearts
Their shredded valentines

I came here from a dirty dark street
There was no one there to protect me
To make the nightmares go away
It has to sparkle
It has to shine
So hard

Look at me for the very last time
I've climbed so high
I've got no place left to climb
And I know, no tomorrow

Rock star, pop star, everybody dies
All tomorrow's parties
They have happened tonight
And I know that I won't see tomorrow

Turn on all the porno please
Been drowning here for days
Bad food, bad s**, bad tv and internet
Take all these stupid pills away

Climb down the boulevard
I'm coming down so fast
I'm coming down so hard
And I've said I can't stop
All those voices in your head

I don't sleep, I never dream
I just shut them up
Now I just keep screaming run away
It's the last time
It's the last time

Look at me for the very last time
I've climbed so high
I've got no place left to climb
No, I know, no tomorrow

Before the sparkle in my eyes
Turns to straight night
All this bleeding heart is still a valentine
Gonna ride this thing until the wheels fall off
Cause girls like me, we always get what we want
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Diamond and the promises and a million dollar bills
All the lives we're wasting in the Holloywood Hills
Cause we know, we're to good for tomorrow
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yesterday's girl or tomorrow's hot teens
Were you jerking off to her
Or were you jerking off to me?
And I know, that I won't know tomorrow

Yeah, you want my magic tower
You want my porno ways
I'm throwing them out

Dusty diamond's gone to rubies
Baby, I was well
You rock'n'roll bitches
You can get what you want, yeah

? Me and I'm listening to you
The keys to the bed and the chateau too
Your little shit coated world
It is rotten to the core
I didn't know you were born without a soul

I've got voices screaming in my head
Are you jerking off in your bed?
It's not punk, it's not cool
It's not even boring
And it's not Eminem who's gonna save me

They're for real life
Realize
They tried to steal my soul
I've got pills when Famous
I got pills when you're old
I've got pills cause I'm bored
I've got pills cause you're dead
I've got cause I am the worst and best dressed

I've got pills cause I feel more than twentyone
Got pills cause I know, baby, you're not the one
I've got pills for my coochie
Cause baby, I'm sore
I've got pills cause you're mad
I've got pills cause I'm bored

Cruising down the Sunset Strip
And there is nothing that's not,
That's not within my grip
Oh tonight, I got it right
Just one time
