No Tomorrow Girls
The Black Halos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh no

I said, "Boy, don't you be naive
You get off your knees
That ain't no way to dance"

You see them walking down the street
The queens of queens you'd love to meet
But now you ain't got no chance

Yes, you'd love to take one home, yeah yeah
They'll leave you all alone, yeah yeah
They come and they go, yeah yeah
They're no tomorrow girls, go

It's like chasing a sweet silhouette
The closer you get
The less you understand

You see them drinking in a club
They're drinking rye, you're drunk on love
But now you ain't got no chance

'Cause you'd love to take one home, yeah yeah
They'll leave you all alone, yeah yeah
They come and they go, yeah yeah
They're no tomorrow girls, go

Yesterday's a passing phase
See them pass you by
The future's shining brightly in their thighs
In their thighs, in your eyes, in their thighs

You'd love to take one home, yeah yeah
They'll leave you all alone, yeah yeah
They come and they go, yeah yeah
They're no tomorrow girls

They live to rock 'n' roll, yeah yeah
They're wild without control, yeah yeah
The only ones I know, yeah yeah
Are no tomorrow girls

No tomorrow girls




No tomorrow girls
No tomorrow girls, go
