Patient Zero Lyrics - 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
