Well, would you believe That after my mention of Ray High last week He's been seen out and about in the big city Until now Ray's been locked away Struggling with a follow-up to his last mega-excess But rumor was he couldn't even open a bottle Without a drink inside him There was talk of a nervous breakdown He's even got up the nose of his sexy manager Poor old Rastus Knight Now has a challenged coke habit I've always had a soft spot for Rastus And I've often seen him looking at it While I was away in 'Frisco I hear Ray went into my club and sat at my table Why thanks Ray That put an end to happy hour Why my place anyway, Ray? Nobody there who's anybody cares two filo faxes About peace and love I heard about you Mr. Stinking, rich Has been rodent, drinking vintage Krug As though it was two bob a bottle I'll be watching out for you Free ride to the house of life Free ride to the house of life Free ride to the house of life Free ride to the house of life Free ride to the house of life Free ride I work hard at my job, I save and I save I know what I deserve after all that I gave You know I want that thing You know I want that thing Put aside a little money almost every day When I think that I'm close it just gets further away You know I want that thing I want that thing Free ride to the house of life (I want that thing) Free ride to the house of life (I want that thing) Free ride to the house of life (I want that thing) Free ride to the house of life (I want that thing) Free ride (I want it, I want it, I want that thing) Free ride I don't know if it's truth, don't know if it's lies Just can't be aloof to what you advertise You know I want that thing And I want that thing, c'mon boy I can't wait any longer to choose Can't get my own, gonna have to take yours from you I want that thing, I really want that thing I want it, I want it, I really, really, really want that thing Free ride (I want that thing) Free ride (I want that thing) Free ride to the house of life (I want that thing) Free ride to the house of life (I want that thing) Free ride, I wanna free ride I've planned an alternative I will secretly commandeer one of the Grid life studios And stage a live rock concert For every single person wearing Grid suits That's fifty percent of the world's population The result will be amazing Everyone who experiences the concert Will slip out of their suit and come to the show They will be drawn to it This will produce the biggest live concert audience in history
