One of my favorite 80’s rock tunes.
boomtown
Ms. Cristina drives a 944
Satisfaction oozes from her pores
She keeps rings on her fingers
Marble on her floor, cocaine on her dresser
Bars on her doors, she keeps her back against the wall
She keeps her back against the wall
So I say, I say welcome, welcome to the Boomtown
Pick a habit, we got plenty to go around
Welcome, welcome to the Boomtown
All that money makes such a succulent sound
Welcome to the Boomtown
Handsome Young Kailob got a little off track
Took a year off of college and he never went back
Now he smokes much too much, he’s got a permanent hack
Deals dope out of Denny’s, keeps a table in the back
He always listens to the ground
Always listens to the ground
So I say, I say welcome, welcome to the Boomtown
Pick a habit, we got plenty to go around
Welcome, welcome to the Boomtown
All that money makes such a succulent sound
Welcome to the Boomtown
Well, the ambulance arrived too late
I guess, she didn’t want to wait

Wow! What a fantastic flashback. Brings to mind The Boomtown Rats…
I bought the album back in the 80’s, now part of albums on my iPod, so I often listen to it running in the am.
