You can't keep a good girl down
Or breathe at 50, 000 feet
Or turn the car around
When it's heading up
This one-way street
But when you get back in town
You'll be sitting pretty
Sitting in the catbird seat
Put another dollar
Down the wishing well
Nothing in this
World is trouble-free
And everything I thought was mine
Just stuff to decorate a shrine
Well, you can carve a totem
Underneath the back balcony
But you can't keep a good girl down
Or breathe at 50, 000 feet
Or turn the car around
When it's heading up
This one-way street
But when you get back in town
You'll be sitting pretty
Sitting in the catbird seat
Sitting in the catbird seat
