Walter Becker - Everything Must Go lyrics

It's high time for a walk on the real side Let's admit the ba*tards beat us I move to dissolve the corporation In a pool of margaritas So let's switch off all the lights Light up all the Luckies Crankin' up the afterglow Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go Talk about your major pain and suffering Now our self-esteem is shattered Show the world a mighty hidey-ho face As we go sliding down the ladder It was sweet up at the top 'Til that ill wind started blowing Now it's cozy down below Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go We gave it our best shot But keep in mind we got a lot The sky, the moon, good food and the weather First-run movies—does anybody get lucky twice? Wouldn't it be nice… Tell me can you dig it Miss Fugazy Now it's gone from late to later Frankly I could use a little face time In the service elevator And if Dave from Acquisitions Wants to get in on the action With his Handicam in tow Well we're goin' out of business Everything must go Can it be the sorry sun is rising Guess it's time for us to book it Talk about the famous road not taken In the end we never took it And if somewhere on the way We got a few good licks in No one's ever gonna know Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go
