Lyrics
It was perfect while it lasted
We all got laid, we all got plastered
And I was such a lucky bastard
Had my fun before disaster comes
Ooooh Ooooh
CHORUS
The believer's gonna doubt
We'll learn to live without
No wishing on an oil well (no oil in a wishing well)
Will save us from that dark, dark spell
When the lights go out
And I'm weary for us all
But our house of cards will fall
The party's done, the cops were called
And now we're chained up to this ball
BRIDGE
I can't tell you not to dream
Not to hope or plot or scheme
But this kingdom you would buy
Is built upon a tragic tragic lie
