lyrics

Cameras taking pictures
Pictures with their flashes
Flashing up the lowlife
Diamonds are forever

Come on, tell me a story
Your friends are drunk and boring.
The night's still young & so am I
so let's get out of here before we die.

This could not be made up.
Made up is not this good.
O my goodness gracious,
You, you don't wear make up.

Come on, tell me a story
Your friends are drunk and boring.
The night's still young & so am I
so let's get out of here before we die.

Read it in the papers
Morning entertainment
Don't it make the breakfast go down.
And life is what you make it--
I read that somewhere lately--
but I don't care about anything
I just want to hit the town.

TIme is of the essence
Patience is a virtue
I'll believe it when I see it
'cause seeing is believing.

Come on, tell me a story
Your friends are drunk and boring.
The night's still young & so am I
so let's get out of here before we die.
