I live near Hollywood out in the Canyon It's a good life if you're winnin' it's a k**er if you're not My wife up and left last night, couldn't stand another fight The studio boss fired me, my future's been shot by The Three Martini Lunch Things will get better soon, I gotta hunch The three martini lunch, wasting another afternoon Punching a hole in my life I came from the backwoods my prospects seemed real good For actor or director the future looked bright But I ran in with a bad crowd and since then it's just been down Alone in the Canyon my only companion The Three Martini Lunch Things will get better soon, I gotta hunch The three martini lunch, wasting another afternoon Punching a hole in my life I know what they're saying yeah I'll never get back again I pushed my luck this time and I'm on the skids But I know what I'm doing I just can't stop doing it Me and my companion, hell bent to ruin it The Three Martini Lunch Things will get better soon, I gotta hunch The three martini lunch, wasting another afternoon Punching a hole in my life Wasting another afternoon Punching a hole in my life
