Get some of that make up on

And tell me what could go wrong

In a city that's built on water and stilts.

You can bounce me off the tide

Watch me as a subdivide

Into a masked parade

Where I can be led astray.

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

And some don't come back from here

It costs money just to disappear

It costs money just to take it on the chin

To detune the violin.

It's not sleep that I need

I want to let off a little steam

In a city that knows

A few things we don't.

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

I just want to forget about it.

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

I just want to forget about it.

I didn't mean to wage a war

I didn't mean to start a fight

It was a good idea at the time.

I've seen fog like this before

I guess I should have read the signs

It was a good idea at the time.

I didn't mean to wage a war

I didn't mean to start a fight

It was a good idea at the time.

And you can try and shut the door

But nothing ever gets left behind

It was a good idea at the time.

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

It was a good idea at the time.

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

It was a good idea at the time.

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

It was a good idea at the time.

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

It was a good idea at the time.

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

Why've you got to analyze it?

It was a good idea at the time.

I just want to forget about it

I just want to forget about it

I just want to forget about it

It was a good idea at the time.
