The Ambassadors Morning Lift by The Paranoid Style Lyrics

What are you goin' for?
(Well I was just hoping)
And what do you have in store?
(Just time or a joke)
Not worth the bother anymore
It wasn't worth it when you weren't broke

My old friend had a saying
(What was that?)
It's useful to keep up disappearances
But best plans get mislaid
(No they don't)
They only get misexperienced
I was on a grift
I was short of funds
The ambassador's morning lift
The only way the morning comes

A nightmare in the cliffs
(And then they're on the rope)
Has it really come to this?
(Did you really expect anything more?)
I mighta had a fifth
I was out cold in the sun
The ambassador's morning lift
The only way the morning comes
You told me what you wished
You said it out loud it won't come true
It shook you like a fist
And turned you like a screw
The ambassador's morning lift

Tied up at the dock
(Waiting for stormy weather)
And then the tackle and the block
I'm at the end of your tether
You set this thing adrift
Keep the lawyers the money and the guns
The ambassador's morning lift
The only way the morning comes

Held your breath and made a wish
Left a light on baby, it won't come true
It crossed you like a list
And burned like a tattoo
The ambassador's morning lift

Suspended in the mist
Won't be long until the sun breaks through
You're standing on the cliffs
Departure's overdue
The ambassador's morning lift
