You live or you survive
Completely sleep deprived
Best two out of three
Another Sunday night
Best three out of five
Best four out of seven

A Friday night divine
Direct deposit signed
Best five out of nine
It's fleeting but it's fine
All part of the design
Best six of eleven

The days only started getting shorter last week
We got a long way to go before the leaves fall down
But I've got a penny burning in my purse
Put on your favorite sweater, spend the whole night out

Down by the riverfront
You can make a reservation cheap at Charlie's
Down by the riverfront
You can book the penthouse suite for a song

So sing with me and follow up into the sky
The elevator ride
Shed your worries and your wrongs
It's fleeting but it's fine
All part of the design
Come on baby, come on

Waste away my petty days
Sunbathing in the rain again
Ooh I waste away my petty days
You'll find me down by the riverfront, where the fuck you think I been?

Tickets to the show tonight
Dressed to impress, all the while I've been up so stressed
I abandon all my virtue in a breath
I need a holiday, I need to get away

From the City of the Flies
The elevator ride
Penthouse vertigo
It's fleeting and it's fine
All part of the design
Save your troubles for tomorrow

Waste away my petty days
Sunbathing in the rain again
Amen! I'll waste away my petty days
You'll find me down by the riverfront, where the fuck you think I been?
Waste away my idle time
With a rubber bullet in my eye
I turn my blinded sight to death decried
You'll find me down by the riverfront, the water helps me sleep at night

Hey
I got my way
I got my want
I got my Jaguar parked out front
I got my say
I got my lay
I got no reason to complain
I got my way
I got my crown
Now let's all have another round
No money down
No shipping rate
Your free trial starts today

I waste away my petty days
Sunbathing in the rain again
Waste away my petty days
You'll find me down by the riverfront, where the fuck you think I been?
Waste away my petty days
Sunbathing in the rain again
Waste away my petty days
You'll find me down by the riverfront, where the fuck you think I been?

Would it be so wrong
To shut my eyes
Would it be so wrong to spend
The time you're lent
C'mon, you'll find me down by the riverfront, where the fuck you think I been?
