Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips
Shes a rock n roll survivor with pendulum hips
Shes got deep brown eyes
Thatve seen it all
Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue
The bar men used to call her Little Lisa, Looney Tunes
She went down on almost anyone
From the hard time living til the Chelsea days
From when her hair was sweet blonde til the day it turned gray
She said
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
Youve got more than money and cents, my friend
Youve got heart, and youre going your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you dont have now will come back again
Youve got heart, and youre going your own way
Some people wear their history like a map on their face
And Joey was an artist just living out a case
But his best work was his letters home
Extended works of fiction about imaginary success
The girls in neon were his closest things to friends
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal
And from the hard time living to the sleepless nights
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights
Hed say
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
Youve got more than money and cents, my friend
Youve got heart, and youre going your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you dont have now will come back again
Youve got heart, and youre going your own way
On my last night on earth, I wont look to the sky
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
On my last night on earth, Ill pay a high price
To have no regrets and be done with my life
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
Youve got more than money and cents, my friend
Youve got heart, and youre going your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you dont have now will come back again
Youve got heart, and youre going your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
Youve got more than money and cents, my friend
Youve got heart, and youre going your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you dont have now will come back again
Youve got heart, and youre going your own way
