 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 are bodies weak,

And ready for sleep!!!

Lean against me, wipe your blood shot eyes, as I wipe mine.

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.

hold hold hold

With just half tank of gas, 150 miles to go. No cash, no food.

hold hold hold

We turn the engine off, every time we go 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 are 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 track, all the while you're screaming back,

"Kiss my ass!!!" We're living our lives, I'm livin' yeah.

 And I'm doin fine, oh yeah, oh yeah I'm doin fine.

 And it's the first night, of the rest of our lives.

 I can't help wonder, "How is it we are still alive?"

Welcome to the first night of the rest.

Let's hope this night of life won't be our last.

 Yeah, welcome to the first night of the rest our lives.

Oooh, good bye.
