Lyrics: I got a message but I can't find the words to say
I had a plan but I lost it along the way

Too many chiefs and not enough Indians
Somebody said, "Oh no, not him again"
I shoulda known it was going to be of those days

This one's going nowhere
This one's flying high
I feel like going out there
One more time

Some people make Champagne out of water
I know some people just never have enough
Lately, for some people it just keeps getting harder
Who you going to trust?

A man built a cave
And he filled it with machines
Now we've got a neon moon
And we don't know what it means

Too many folks just a-hangin' around
Don't know their ass
From a hole in the ground
I shoulda known
It was going to be one of those scenes

This one's going nowhere
This one's flying high
I feel like going out there
One more time

Some people make Champagne out of water
I know some people have fallen to their knees
Lately, for some people it just keeps getting harder
Who you trying to please?

Sit and watch while the candles burning
Some people they never learn
Sit and watch while the cities burning
Some people they never learn

This one's going nowhere
This one's flying high
Feel like going out there
One more time

Some people make Champagne out of water
I know some people just never have enough
Lately, for some people it just keeps getting harder

Some people make Champagne out of water
I know some people have fallen to their knees
Lately, for some people it just keeps getting harder

Some people make Champagne out of water
I know some people just never have enough
Lately, for some people it just keeps getting harder

Some people make Champagne out of water
I know some people have fallen to their knees
Lately, for some people it just keeps getting harder
