lyrics

Bubble & Burst
© 2012 Perry Costello

Verse 1:
When Times were good, I bought a new suit
As time’s gone by, it fits a little loose
Got Bills to pay, there dishes in the sink
One might say I’m near the brink

Chorus:
Bubble & Burst, Who’s gonna be first
Rise & Fall, It happens to us all
Soar & Crash, Put on your mask
When you’re up & down, Nobody’s around

Verse 2:
When times were good I bought a new hat
But as time went by it’s gone a little flat
Got bills to pay, some things to fix
You might say, I’ve taken some licks

Verse 3:
When times were good I bought some new shoes
But as time’s gone by they might need some glue
Got bills to pay, some places to go
One might say that I’ve lost my flow

Verse 4:
When times were good, I bought a guitar
As time’s gone by, it’s earned a few scars
Got bills to pay and I need new strings
One might say, I’ve taken some dings

Verse 5:
When times were good I bought a new car
As days gone by I can’t drive it so far
Got bills to pay, gotta fill the tank
One might say I seem a little blank Chorus:
