lyrics

Everything was going fine; I was dancing in a low light 
Rolling with a no-good low life baby; No no no no 

Everything was so nice; I was taking up all your time, your time 
Sippin on a fine wine, ask me if it feels right; Yea yea yea yea

Nights like this don't mess around me, 
Make a dead man walk, make a blind man see oh
Cause you're rolling with a no-good low life
And he looks just like me 

Everything was going fine til 11:59 
I thought I heard my soul cry; ask me what it feel like:
Canary in a coal mine 
Everything was so nice, until I saw the iceberg 
Travel through the eons, never thought I'd be one 
To forget the feeling 

Static feedback 
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it way up: All the way up
Just wanna go where it feels right 

Last Saturday, baby, I wrote you a song
But I found out in the morning that it was all wrong 
The chorus was set in stone 
But the verse just wouldn't make the cut back to square one 

Don't wanna tell you that it's going fine,
when everything is on the line 
Never thought I'd be one to forget the feeling 

The only thing between me and the loaded cannon 
Aimed down Pennsylvania Avenue 
Was the sweet perfume of 30,000 cherry blossoms—
Any one of them would do 

Everything was going fine til 11:59 
I thought I heard my soul cry; ask me what it feel like:
Canary in a coal mine 
Everything was so nice, until I saw the iceberg 
Travel through the eons, never thought I'd be one 
To forget the feeling
