Star 18

[Verse 1] I know we made plans to meet in Spokane But the way I make plans, you gotta take it with a grain of salt Got jammed in Alabama and I was trying to get all of it resolved I'm sure it seems like it's a perfect fit But trust me, man, 'cause I've been up in it And at dawn I had to crawl back home through the quicksilver sprawl To tell the truth, if I were you, I'd rather sleep over than telecommute 'Cause when you're in the same room I think we make a much better connection [Chorus 1] Hemingway at Cafe Select Donna Summer in the discotheque Once you get good, you can get it wherever you are Sloppy city in the upper deck Trippin' hard on the self-neglect Now let me hold the money, 'cause he wants you to wait in the car [Verse 2] Sorry I'm late, I got caught in a mosh With this dude who said he used to play with Peter Tosh But he never brought it up again once I said, man, I don't believe you And I looked over this great expanse And I saw some kid pissin' on his parachute pants And in one split second I figured out that he was one of your crew The amphetamines did what the amphetamines do And she was chewing through her cheek at the National Zoo And the dress she was wearing made a nice case for natural selection [Chorus 2] So hold Steady at the Comfort Inn Mick Jagger's at the Mandarin Once you get good, you can get it wherever you are Notify the next of kin Mariel Hemingway with perfect skin And some creep with a camera who said he's gonna make you a star You gotta wait in the car [Bridge] Once upon a time I had a meeting with a man in a mansion He pulled a few strings just to demonstrate how it's all connected [Chorus 3] Disseminating from a central source Hemingway on the Ketchum porch Once you get good, you can get it wherever you are So hit me back when it's back in style Star 18 on the rotary dial And let me hold the money 'cause he wants you to wait in the car You gotta wait in the car
