Bubbles

(album: The Confessor - 1985)

Floating on a bubble while the world goes down the drain.
Somebody pulled the plug, the dirty dishes still remain.
And when the bubble bursts that's the worst for those who play dirty games.
While the world goes down the drain, down the drain.

Floating on a bubble, slipping on the soap,
Standing in the tub insane.
While the world goes down the drain.
And that's the rub, reality is so hard to explain.
Meanwhile the world goes down the drain, down the drain.

So I'm floating on a bubble while the world goes down the drain.
Slipping on the soap, running out of rope,
But all and all I can't complain,
And that's the rub according to the rules of the game.
The world's going down the drain,
When the bubble bursts you might as well drink the cork and pop the champagne.
When the bubble bursts, the world goes down the drain.
