Halfway to heaven and halfway to hell
In the lonely hearts club you are joining
Vote for the man who will promise the least
He’ll be the least disappointing
Fair warning, mid-morning, I’m scorning
And mourning for what I don’t know

I should be grateful. Why am I so hateful?
But I’m just like Old Faithful
Unable, unstable, whatever the label
You can’t keep a good man down long

I won’t stay down long, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I won’t stay down long, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

A man of conviction, both faithful and true
Apart from my prior convictions
A man of distinction? Now who’s kidding who?
Why all of this endless exploring the orgy with Annie and Georgie unless you want in on it, too

You should be grateful
Why are you so hateful?
But I’m just like Old Faithful
Unable, unstable, whatever the label
You can’t keep a good man down long

I won’t stay down long, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I won’t stay down long, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Boy, was that stupid! Oh, boy, was I wrong
To think I’d look good in a thong
So I’m back on the road with my khakis back on
You don’t miss the abyss till it’s gone
Just move on. My swan song was all wrong
Everything that looks Grey you Poupon

I should be grateful
Why am I so hateful?
But I’m just like Old Faithful
Unable, unstable, whatever the label you can’t keep a good man down long.

I won’t stay down long, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I won’t stay down long, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

All things considered, at the end of the day
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
I’d make a long story short, but it’s probably too late
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

I won’t stay down long, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I won’t stay down long, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I won’t stay down long, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I won’t stay down long, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
