An airplane leaves as another lands
And one more person quit the band today
The turntable is my new best friend
When he speaks my troubles spin away
When the music is on my world just fades
And the freedom hits me like a runaway train
Two missed calls on my telephone
It seems my services have gone astray

If the ship is going down and there is no way out
Then there ain't no use in trying now

Well all the stars that we have wished upon and grew up
Burned out and have all flown away
Another stop, another show
I wonder just how long this ride will go
The fuel is low and the rent is late
And I'll send a check babe, as soon as I get paid
What started with four is down to one
I thought this band was supposed to be fun
When did we stop having fun

If the ship is going down and there is no way out
Then there ain't no use in trying now
