Taking the high life as far as it goes All the way to a natural conclusion Packing the good times into minutes that split At the seams, you can sustain the illusion Broken promises keep you hooked Expectations lying dead on a shelf A high, high hope won't help you cope You can listen to a prophet but you won't hear till you tell yourself. Life don't get better than The Colony Up and down Life don't get better than this Round and round Yeah J-walking's a dream But don't get hit by the stream The sweetest sweet is gonna swallow you whole And don't get used to the room In your new hot air balloon You may land and find you're home Bitter home Champagne bubbling through your veins But your bubble just might pop if you shout to loud Just watch it, You can't know enough It don't matter if you're flush It don't matter if you're down and out Life don't get better than The Colony Up and down Life don't get better than this Round and round
