Midsummer Night's Toast

Here's to all you lucky dogs, it's heads or tails
Here's to all the filthy rich and I wish you well
Here's to all the pretty women made for cash
And here's to dashing daddy's son in such a flash
Hey, I've been looking and walking round the Sunset Square
Singing and talking with my friends down there
Sitting and listening with a young man's ear to
All the rainbow dreams
Here's to all the shitty jobs that I despise
Here's to two-bit guarantees and other lies
Here's to roads of burning tar and hot cement
And here's to money in my hand and where it went
I got my fingers tapping on the hard stone steps
Waiting for the lightning and the rains to fall
Young lovers are loafing with their sidewalk smiles and
All their rainbow dreams
Amy Allen's in the summer
With a sack lunch and a punch card
See my sister with her drag job
Man, she feels like she's a hundred years ago
Oh yeah
Here's to people living lives that they regret
Working fingers to the bone and sinking debt
Here's to all them shaky tricks that hustlers try
That easy money is oft times hard to flash a grin and we care
I've been living and breathing in a rat trap town
Trying to get over where the wall breaks down
Holding my head up with my thin tired arms and
All my rainbow dreams
Oh yeah
