lyrics

Magdalene
came on the same scene
right about the same time as me

she played guitar
and she followed the stars
from the pages of a magazine

we went out to the City of Angels
where the sidewalks are paved with gold
and the people are drinking from the fountain of youth
so that they never have to get old

we were the next big things rising
heading for the coast

we were rock and roll kids
with a burning obsession
for G-d only knows

we got lost
with the bright lights
burning our eyes too close to the sun
she took off
about as soon as we landed
for the promise of a chosen one

I got a gig in a strip club
just about a state's drive out of town
playing covers of To Lefty from Willie
for the perpetually down

we were the next big things rising
headed for the coast
we were rock and roll kids
with a burning obsession
for G-d only knows

when she came in asking
for a job and a glass of wine
looking like an out of luck actress
who'd forgotten her lines

I said Magdalene
don't you remember me
we were kids once and we were young
running for the stages and the silver screens
and the promise of a little fun?

she said yes of course I remember
those fountains they never get old
I'll take one more shot
of that give it all we got
cause that's a drink that's best served cold

we were the next big things rising
headed for the coast
we were rock and roll kids
with a burning obsession for

rock and roll kids
with a burning obsession for

rock and roll kids
with a burning obsession for
G-d only knows
