This Is the First Night

[Chrous 1] This is the first night of the rest of our lives I can't help wonder, "How is it we're still alive?" Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives Oh yeah, and I said Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives [Verse 1] We stayed up all night long, laughing, singing in the streets Oh yeah, ya know The Clash, Ramones, The Pogues, our voices hoarse, our bodies weak And ready for sleep Lean against me, wipe your bloodshot eyes As I wipe mine And from these rooftops, we'll watch the sun rise Ain't this the life? [Chorus 2] Yeah, it's the first night of the rest of our lives I can't help wonder, "How is it we're still alive?" Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives [Verse 2] With just a half tank of gas, 150 miles to go No cash, no food We turned the engine off every time we went down hill And it's on with the show I don't know whether to laugh or cry Oh no, I don't All I know is that I am alive I'm really alive [Chorus 1] And it's the first night of the rest of our lives I can't help wonder, "How is it we're still alive?" Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives Oh yeah, and I said Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives [Bridge] We heard "You there!" and jumped from the train, ran up the tracks All the while you screaming back, "Kiss my ass!" We're living our lives, I'm livin' and yeah and I'm doin' fine Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm doing fine! [Outro] And it's the first night of the rest of our lives I can't help wonder, "How is it we're still alive?" Oh, welcome to the first night of the rest... Let's hope this night of nights won't be our last Yeah, welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives Oh, oh, goodbye
