patient zero

they served you champagne like a hero

when you landed

someone carried your bag

from here on out

you're patient zero

smelling ether as they hand you the rag

life is good

you look around and think

i'm in the right neighborhood

but

honey

you just moved in

life is grand

and wouldn't you like

to have it go as planned?

go as planned

hip hip hooray

hocus pocus

with some magic you can fly through the air

but when you're the guy pulling focus

there are people who will wish you weren't there

life is good

you look around and think

i'm in the right neighborhood

but

honey

you just moved in

life is grand

and wouldn't you like

to have it go as planned?

go as planned

go west

young man

go west

take a real screen test

doesn't count as a job well done

the locust have their day

the suckers pay in a bay

carmen sternwood probably pull that trigger for fun

and in the hills

where all the sunshine

constant companion

close enough to almost touch the lights of the canyon

the lights of the canyon

but news filtered out of the transom

that a villain ended up with a part

you paid your respects like a ransom

to a moment that was doomed from the start

life is good

you look around and think

i'm in the right neighborhood

but

honey

you just moved in

life is grand

and wouldn't you like

to have it go as planned?

go as planned

and in the hills

where all the sunshine

constant companion

close enough to almost touch the lights of the canyon

the lights of the canyon

the lights of the canyon

the lights of the canyon

the lights of the canyon
