I have to tell a story - about a man |
|
Never in the mood - to change his life |
|
Nobody wants to help him - as he spirals down |
|
But one day the wrong decision - hit him overnight |
|
No more cocktail parties - champagne's run dry |
|
No company take-overs - stock markets high |
|
No more hand-jobs in the boardroom - sex is history |
|
And no saunas, no jacuzzis - the penalties you'll reap |
|
At last he realized - he did it wrong |
|
Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies |
|
He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts |
|
He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved |
|
His old man told him always - listen son |
|
It's a two-way street to fortune - you gotta hit and run |
|
Don't forget the mirror - look who's behind |
|
And don't you come up crying - when it's faster coming down |
|
At last he realized - he did it wrong |
|
Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies |
|
He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts |
|
He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved |
|
He's going down on his bad luck - it's his time |
|
He's going down on his bad luck - can't rewind |
|
Do you get the story - you know this man |
|
Have you learned a lesson - do you understand |
|
When all you got is crystal - you shouldn't cast a stone |
|
So be careful when you go up - 'cause you'll meet them coming down |
|
He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts |
|
He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved |
|
He's going down on his bad luck - it's his time |
|
He's going down on his bad luck - can't rewind |
