To the city beat on a treacherous curve[00:00:29]
Up upon the high wire you're observed[00:00:33]
You live as you live[00:00:36]
You'll get what you deserve:[00:00:38]
High life[00:00:44]
Dig those highlights[00:00:46]
Sun city nightlife:[00:00:50]
You'll be like a moth consumed by a flame[00:00:54]
It's a rich man's world[00:01:06]
Kick those beggars and fools[00:01:07]
Conspicuous consumption the only rule[00:01:10]
But the law of retribution will be terribly cruel[00:01:13]
Oh[00:01:20]
But you mustn't stop to think about your place upon the planet[00:01:20]
If you did[00:01:25]
You might steal yourself away[00:01:25]
And it doesn't really matter if the show goes up tomorrow[00:01:28]
After all[00:01:32]
This petty place is day to day[00:01:33]
Highlights of the highlife[00:01:39]
Dancing at midnight[00:01:45]
Dancing all moral existence away[00:01:49]
Nightlife[00:02:09]
Highlights[00:02:10]
Highlife[00:02:14]
Twilight[00:02:28]
Oh[00:02:31]
You mustn't ever think about your place upon the planet[00:02:31]
Don't look further than the bottom of a drink[00:02:45]
Don't ever think about the way you'll feel tomorrow[00:02:50]
Don't stop dancing or the boat will sink[00:02:56]
All in all it's gone before you blink[00:02:59]
Highlights of the high life[00:03:03]
Sun city nightlife[00:03:14]
You'll be like a moth consumed by flame[00:03:25]
Twilight of the high life[00:03:35]
Chimes at midnight[00:03:40]
You're still dancing all moral existence away[00:03:42]
A motorbike in afrika[00:03:51]
He's riding the white line[00:03:59]
Oblivious of snakes stretched out across the way like tripwire[00:04:06]
He's dancing[00:04:19]
