I heard it pays in spades To be on your back again To poison all your friends And if you did it today You could have gold beyond your means Get old but live the dream Time it wears heavy on your bedroom wall Time to rearrange the little lines I've drawn So I can't figure out what's going on When you're on your back again And what a perfect day To take what you can get And live without regret But in a similar vein The bootprints that you leave Will crush us 'til we're free Time it wears heavy on your bedroom wall Time to rearrange the little lines I've drawn So I can't figure out what's going on Well you're on your back again I heard it pays in spades To be on your back again To poison all your friends
