Patient Zero - Aimee Mann

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

The lights of the canyon

The lights of the canyon

The lights of the canyon
