Liar, liar with your pants on fire

You'll never recognize yourself on heartattack and vine 

Doctor, lawyer, beggar man, thief 
Philly Joe Remarkable looks on in disblief 
If you watn a taste of madness you'll have to wait in line 
You'll probably see someone you know on heartattack and vine 
 
Boney's high on china white 
Shorty found a punk 
Don't you know there ain't no devil? 
That's just God when he's drunk 
Well, this stuff'll probably kill you lets do another line 
What you say you meet me down at heartattack and vine 
 
See that little jersey girl in the see-through top, 
With the pedal pushers, suckin' on a soda pop 
Well I'll bet that she's still a virgin  
But it's only twenty-five to nine 
You can see a million of 'em on heartattack and vine 
 
Better off in Iowa against your scrambled eggs 
Then crawlin' down Cahuenga on a broken pair of legs 
You'll find your ignorance is blissful ev'ry goddamn time 
You're waiting for the RTD on heartattack and vine 
 
Boney's high on china white 
Shorty found a punk 
Don't you know there ain't no devil? 
That's just God when he's drunk 
Well, this stuff'll probably kill you lets do another line 
What you say you meet me down at heartattack and vine
