about
Glitter fades and shallow unions crack. Here's to noble intentions.
lyrics
So you're looking for a man who'll make everything alright-
a man who'll give you all you want every single day and night-
a man who'll buy you diamonds, and pretty silver rings-
a man who serenades you with what every shyster sings.
So are you winking at me, or is something in your eye?
I've got some things I'd love to share, and honey... I don't lie
You want a man's fat wallet, a ball and chain to make you well?
Well, honey, I've got your ticket.... a ticket straight to Hell.
'Cause I don't have much money, though I really wish I did.
And often I am struggling or I'm lost just like a kid.
But I make good on who I am and don't preach what I'm not.
I'd rather make friends pulling weeds than live life like a snot.
'Cause friendship is forever but the tangibles don't last.
Let's stop and smell the roses now, and let's not eat too fast.
But if you diss' these notions and a mansion is your shell,
Honey, I've got your ticket.... a ticket straight to Hell!
Now, look right there at Mr. X... the high life is his game.
He keeps up with the Joneses; he's got money, looks, and fame.
But if that's all you get from him, well, you may think that's fine.
But all that stress and loneliness might catch you down the line.
So if money is your mantra and you need security,
Go on now and grab that man, but nuthin' comes for free.
'Cause if you worship T.V. and that crap it has to sell,
Honey, he's got your ticket....a ticket straight to Hell!
A first-class, one-way ticket straight to Hell!
If I could choose between a Porsche, or a nice cool Autumn breeze,
I'd take your hand to share the best of nature's subtleties.
You do not need a price tag for the pleasures that are pure.
True love might be tricky, but it's priceless, that's for sure!
So are you winking at me, or is something in your eye?
I've got some things I'd love to share, and Honey, I don't lie.
So if you wanna take a chance and see if time will tell,
Honey, I've got your ticket.... a ticket for loving well.
A first-class, one-way ticket for loving well!
