Everything works for you and I'm aching
These planes are an ocean that's where we grieve
Where we drown, yeah yeah
Open the turnstyles and we're racing
A bit like the drama that unfolds at Churchill Downs
Place your bets, yeah yeah
Spend our time shadow boxin'
Hoping for knockout

King of the ring is silly but
New loves unite, praise the hero king
We hit a low like the Titanic
some kind of affair
She's already gone
who sings la la la la la laa la
who sings la la la la la laa la
who sings la la la la la laa la

Indian princess was a blockbuster
Dances the waltz at her father's country club
The southern boys, yeah yeah
Everyone waits for you mint julips
The dancefloor's an ocean and that's where we drown
Debutantes, yeah yeah
Spend our time shadow boxin'
Hoping for a knockout

King of the ring is silly but
New loves unite, praise the hero king
We hit a low like the Titanic
some kind of affair
She's already gone
who sings la la la la la laa la
who sings la la la la la laa la
who sings la la la la la laa la
