Get some of that makeup 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

And watch me as I subdivide

Into a masked parade

Where I can be led astray

Why have you got to analyse it?

Why have you got to analyse it?

Some don't come back from here

It costs money just to disappear

It costs money just to take it on the chin

To the tune and 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 have you got to analyse it?

Why have you got to analyse it?

I just wanna forget about it

Why have you got to analyse it?

Why have you got to analyse it?

I just wanna 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've 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

Nothing ever gets left behind

It was a good idea at the time

(Why have you got to analyse it?)

It was a good idea at the time

(Why have you got to analyse it?)

It was a good idea at the time

(Why have you got to analyse it?)

It was a good idea at the time

(Why have you got to analyse it?)

It was a good idea at the time

(Why have you got to analyse it?)

It was a good idea at the time

(Why have you got to analyse it?)

It was a good idea at the time

(I just wanna forget about it)

It was a good idea at the time
