  30 I'd give her everything I had, but she refused it

  50 Fifty silhouettes now tumblin' on the dance floor
  51 Pink elephants fallin' through a trap door
  52 Sixty cigarettes a day because I'm nervous
  53 When will that bitch begin to serve us?
  54 I used to be a good boy, livin' the good life
  55 Fifty thousand kisses later she was a housewife
  56 She was good, I was unkind

  66 Big Jim says that the second comin's comin'
  67 I think he must be seein' double or something
  68 You can hang around here, waiting for the offerings
  69 I can't win, but I've seen enough, man
  70 A fifth of whisky keep the doctor away
  71 A little more and it's judgment day
  72 I had a future, but she just passed out
