Patient Zero

They served you champagne like a hero
 When you landed, someone carried your bag
 From here on out, you're patient zero
 Smelling ether as they hand you the rag
 Life is good
 You look around and think
 I'm in the right neighborhood
 But, honey, you just moved in
 Life is grand
 And wouldn't you like
 To have it go as planned?
 Go as planned
 
 Hip hip hooray, hocus pocus
 With some magic you can fly through the air
 But when you're the guy pulling focus
 There are people who will wish you weren't there
 Life is good
 You look around and think
 I'm in the right neighborhood
 But, honey, you just moved in
 Life is grand
 And wouldn't you like
 To have it go as planned?
 Go as planned
 Go west, young man
 Go west, take a real screen test
 Doesn't count as a job well done
 The locust had their day
 The suckers pay and pay
 Carmen Sternwood probably pull that trigger for fun
 And in the hills, where all the sunshine, constant companion
 Close enough to almost touch the lights of the canyon
 The lights of the canyon
 ♪
 But news filtered out of the transom
 That a villain ended up with a part
 You paid your respects like a ransom
 To a moment that was doomed from the start
 Life is good
 You look around and think
 I'm in the right neighborhood
 But, honey, you don't belong
 Life is grand
 And wouldn't you like
 To have it go as planned?
 Go as planned
 And in the hills, where all the sunshine, constant companion
 Close enough to almost touch the lights of the canyon
 The lights of the canyon
 The lights of the canyon
 The lights of the canyon
 The lights of the canyon
