Lyrics

Dave peverett - riff bros. music - ascap

I've got a '57 cadillac with batmobile wings
Pink and black striped interior that's fit for a king
No money down, fifty years to pay, be glad when it's mine
"Saw you coming!", said the dealer as I signed on the line

Live now - pay later, live now - pay later

I got a fifty room country mansion up in the hills
My landlord says I can have it, long as I pay the bills
I bought the furniture on credit at a fabulous store
The man said, "next time you come in, why don't you spend a little more?

Live now-pay later, live now-pay later

How many possesions do I possess?
I started with nothin', now I've got less
How long will my credit last this time?
Live now-pay later, that's how it's gotta be
If money talks, well it sure ain't talkin' to me!

{Instrumental}

My doctor told me that I'm crazy to abuse myself this way
Too much alcohol and jelly roll, someday I'm gonna pay
No time for tomorrow, I'm too busy havin' fun
But when the bills come in, I know it's time for me to run

Live now-pay later, live now-pay later

There's a hole in my pocket where my cash used to be
Rubber checks and credit cards have been so good to me
How long can I spend my life on loan? oh yeah
Live now-pay later, that's how it's gotta be
If money talks, well it sure ain't talkin' to me!

Oooh oooh oooh wooo, oooh oooh oooh wooo...

Live now-pay later, live now-pay later
(Live now), live now, (pay later), pay later
(Live now), live now, (pay later), pay later
(Live now), live now, (pay later), pay later
(Live now), live now, (pay later), live now
(Live now), whoa yeah, (pay later)

{Erik - solo}

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-ee-ahh, ooooh whoa
I'm gonna bounce my checks all over the place now. well, well, well
I'm out of here!
I gotta run, they got me beat, whoa yeah
Time for me to run now! I gotta move on down the road
Change my name, my address, my i.d
I gotta run, I gotta run
Live now-pay later
I have had my fun, yeah
I've have had my fun
Now it's time for me to pay
Time for me to pay
Yeah, I gotta run!
