Playin' both sides at the same time Making the scene Ain't gonna wait in no line You're VIP Inside the lights are bright You shine like a star But good looks and boyish charm Only get you so far That's failing upwards, That's failing upwards Talking out both sides of your mouth You're the green machine Big wind gonna blow down your house You done dirty deeds Inside the lights are bright You shine like a star But good looks and boyish charm Only get you so far Failing upwards in an empty suit And your rhinestone studded boots Time to pull your golden parachute Before you're found out in cahoots That's failing upwards Failing upwards Failing upwards Failing upwards Failing upwards in an empty suit And your rhinestone studded boots Time to pull your golden parachute Before you're found out in cahoots (Let me say it again y'all) Failing upwards in an empty suit And your rhinestone studded boots Time to pull your golden parachute Before you're found out in cahoots That's failing upwards Failing upwards Failing upwards Failing upwards
