Three Martini Lunch

by Graham Parker





I live near Hollywood out in the Canyon

It's a good life if you're winnin' it's a killer if you're not

My wife up and left last night, couldn't stand another fight

The studio boss fired me, my future's been shot by



Chorus

The Three Martini Lunch

Things will get better soon, I gotta hunch

The three martini lunch, wasting another afternoon

Punching a hole in my life



I came from the backwoods my prospects seemed real good

For actor or director the future looked bright

But I ran in with a bad crowd and since then it's just been down

Alone in the Canyon my only companion



Chorus



I know what they're saying yeah I'll never get back again

I pushed my luck this time and I'm on the skids

But I know what I'm doing I just can't stop doing it

Me and my companion, hell bent to ruin it



Chorus



Coda

Wasting another afternoon

Punching a hole in my li............fe

Wasting another afternoon

Punching a hole in my life
