This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
(the perils of rock n' roll decadence)
I know this chick she lives down on Melrose
She ain't satisfied without some pain
Friday night is goin' up inside her...again
Well crack the whip
'Cause that bitch is just insane
I'm serious
She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
She's pretty tied up an you can ride her
She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Once there was this rock n' roll band
Rollin' on the streets
Time went by and it became a joke
We just needed more and more fulfilling... uh-huh
Time went by and it all went up in smoke
But check it out
She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
She's pretty tied up an you can ride her
She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
Ohh I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Once you made that money it costs more now
It might cost a lot more than you'd think
I just found a million dollars
that someone forgot
It's days like this that push me o'er the brinks
Cool and stressing
[pronounced: cool ranch dres'ing]
She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
She's pretty tied up an you can ride her
She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down
And I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh she's the right one ...(etc.)
(but I can tell you a thing or two
'bout somethin' else
If you really want to know...know what I'm sayin')

" And the song came true "Once there was this rock n' roll band Rollin' on the streets Time went by and it became a joke " lol"
Sorry Bud. That bit was written when GnR were Playing Shitty little Clubs in '96 and '95 when there were living off bread and cheap wine.
No Pun (Maybe Just a little) But, It's Basicly The Perils of Rock N' Roll Decadence
It is possible the 'time went by and it became a joke' lyric much later after the rest of the song
You must mean '85 '86.
