This Is the First Night

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 We stayed up all night long Laughing, singing in the streets, oh, yeah, you 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? 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 With just a half tank of gas, 150 miles to go, no cash, no food We turned the engine off, every time that 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 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 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 I'm doin' fine Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm doing fine! 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, goodbye
