Ted Leo - Patient Zero lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Bridge] Go west, young man Go west, take a real screen test Doesn't count as a job well done The locusts had their day The s**ers pay and pay Carmen Sternwood probably pulled that trigger for fun [Chorus 2] And in the hills where hope is such a constant companion Close enough to almost touch the lights of the canyon The lights of the canyon [Verse 3] But news filtered over the transom That a villain ended up with the part You paid your respects like a ransom To a moment that was doomed from the start [Chorus 1] Life is good You look around and think I'm in the right neighborhood But, honey, you don't belong Life is grand And wouldn't you like To have it go as planned? Go as planned [Chorus 2] And in the hills where hope is such a 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
