Hey you know just when to bail out
I bet you'd come in handy in a flood
I'm pretty good at treading water, but I get the feeling someone's pulled the plug
Going down, down, down the drain pipes, the pipes are calling
Dreaming of swimming and finally forgetting I'd always had a fear of falling
Right place
Life is screaming in your face
Straight line
Days of roses and wine
Wrong track
Death is howling at your back
And now the champagne is going flat
Comment allez vous to the heiress apparent
Let' rendezvous in the warm Paris air
I don't know her, but my dad knows her parents and he told me she'd be there
Right place
Life is screaming in your face
Straight line
Days of roses and wine
Wrong track
Death is howling at your back
And now the champagne is going flat
I wanted to say congratulations
Stop animation, you've stalled out for a time
Moving on up to the east side of town
Heard the crime rate's going down
Imagine me owning property, it probably means you'll be seeing me around
Right place
Life is screaming in your face
Straight line
Days of roses and wine
Wrong track
Death is howling at your back
And now the champagne is going flat
