Diamonds and fast cars   Money to burn   I got my head in the clouds   I got these thoughts to churn   Got my feet in the sand   I got a house on the hill   I got a headache like a mother   Twice the price of my thrills   An it's a cold day it's a continental drift   I said this traffic is hell   Can you give me a lift   An I'll try to paint a story   Got your pictures to hell   Yeah you got to make a living   With what you bring yourself to sell   I got some genuine   Imitation   Bad apples   Free sample   For your piece o' mind   Only .95   I got my camera back from customs   Got my law fees up to date   Hell they musta seen me comin'   Ain't this life so fuckin' great   When the shit hit the fan   It was all I could stand   Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer   My body's breathing while it can   But what I don't understand is that   My world ain't gettin' no brighter   If I could touch the sky   Well I would float on by   While everybody's talkin'   Hell I'm just another guy   If it were up to me   I'd say just leave me be   Why let one bad apple   Spoil the whole damn bunch   Gold and caviar   Now why'nt you pour my apathy   I'd have all my bases covered   If I could teach my hands to see   But now we're down in the deep end   Where they'd love to watch you drown   I said your laundry could use washing   We'll hang it up all over town   I said Hollywood's like a dryer   An we're down on Sunset Strip   An you'll be suckin' down the clorox   'Til your life's all nice and crisp   When the shit hit the fan   It was all I could stand   Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer   My body's breathin' while it can   But what I don't understand is that   My world ain't gettin' no brighter   If I could touch the sky   Well I would float on by   While everybody's talkin'   Hell I'm just another guy   If it were up to me   I'd say just leave me be   Why let one bad apple   Spoil the whole damn bunch   When the shit hit the fan   It was all I could stand   Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer   My body's breathin' while it can   But what I don't understand is that   My world ain't gettin' no brighter   If I could touch the sky   Well I would float on by   While everybody's talkin'   Hell I'm just another guy   If it were up to me   I'd say just leave me be   Why let one bad apple   Spoil the whole damn bunch   Why let that one bad apple   Spoil the whole damn bunch   Boy!!
