Lyrics

You could've been more Than a name on the door On the 33rd floor in the air More than a credit card Swimming pool in the backyard While you still have the time You could get away and find A better life, you know the grind Is so ungrateful Racing cars, whisky bars No one cares who you really are You're the keeper of the cards Yes, I know it gets hard Keeping the wheels turning And the wife, she keeps the keys She is so pleased to be A part of the arrangement You could've been more Than a name on the door On the 33rd floor in the air More than a consumer Lying in some room, trying to die More than a credit card Swimming pool in the backyard You could've been more Than a name on the door You could've been more Than a name on the door You could've been more You could've been more You could've been more
