lyrics

Laws are inverted
You might say perverted
When you are a monger of song
When the whole human escapade
Is your stock-in-trade
You can hardly go wrong
Bad is good
The worse, the better
Horrible news and horrible weather
When life gives you a spank
You’ll be crying all the way to the bank

The mood descends
As our scene begins
From strained to estranged
It’s hard to fathom
How nothing can happen
And somehow everything can change
Words fly and plates fly
Cue the slamming of the door
And then someone gets to sleep
In a crumpled heap
On the living room floor

But it’s good for business
This drama business
Thrown together and blown apart
It’s tough to live this
But it’s good for business
Good for business
But it’s hard on the heart

You yearn, you yearn
The question burns
Are we having fun yet?
The sneaking suspicion
That something is missing
Keeps you on the run
Born to nurse
Unslakable thirst
And outrageous appetite
You prowl the streets
Like a cat in heat
Howling in the night

But it’s good for business
This longing business
Where you approach
But you don’t arrive
The road is endless
But it’s good for business
Good for business
But it burns you alive

A sharp decline
A flawed design
Engineering spotty
Who put this five dollar valve
In this million dollar body?
Pipes leak and pumps weaken
The enterprise is running on fumes
And then the screen dims
The planet spins
And eternity resumes

But it’s good for business
This dying business
We’re in the black
But it takes a toll
It’s tough to witness
But it’s good for business
Good for business
But it’s hard on the soul
