Good Idea at the Time

Get some of that makeup on and tell me what could go wrong In a city that's built on water and stilts You can bounce me off the tide and watch me as I subdivide Into a masked parade where I can be led astray, ahh Why've you got to analyse it? Why've you got to analyse it? And some don't come back from here It costs money just to disappear It costs money just to take it on the chin To detune the violin It's not sleep that I need I want to let off a little steam In a city that knows a few things we don't, oh Why've you got to analyse it? Why've you got to analyse it? I just want to forget about it Why've you got to analyse it? Why've you got to analyse it? I just want to forget about it I didn't mean to wage a war I didn't mean to start a fight It was a good idea at the time I've seen fog like this before I guess I should have read the signs It was a good idea at the time I didn't mean to wage a war I didn't mean to start a fight It was a good idea at the time And you can try and shut the door But nothing ever gets left behind It was a good idea at the time (Why've you got to analyse it?)
