Last Plane Out Lyrics

[Intro]
(Whoa!)

[Verse 1]
Greetings from Sodom
How we wish you were here
The weather's getting warmer
Now that the trees are all cleared
No time for a conscience
And we recognize no crime
Yeah, we got dogs and Valvoline
And it's a pretty damn good time

[Chorus]
Man of reason, not of rhyme
Keep the spoils and share the crime
Good man, bad man, lost without
A hope for passage on the last plane out

[Instrumental Break]
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, ah

[Verse 2]
There was one repressed do-gooder
And a few who still believed
Yes, I think there were five good men here yesterday
But they were asked to leave
So we've kept the good old vices
And labored to invent a few
With cake in vulgar surplus
We can have it and eat it, too

[Chorus]
Man of reason, not of rhyme
Keep the spoils and share the crime
Good man, bad man, lost without
A hope for passage on the last plane out
Man of reason, hide your face
Walking backwards, plays his ace
Good man, bad man, lost without
A hope for passage on the last plane out

[Bridge 1]
So here's a concept you can't dance to
An idea you cannot hum
There may not be an empty seat
When all is said and done

[Bridge 2]
I'm not the guy who sings the hymns
No bleeding hearts to mend
But I like the part where Icarus
Hijacks the little red hen

[Verse 3]
Someone said the big man
May be joining us soon
But I never was the type to hang
With the harbingers of doom
And this party is addictive
Self-destructive, no doubt
So I hope that someone saves a seat for me
On the last plane out

[Chorus]
Man of reason, not of rhyme
Keep the spoils and share the crime
Good man, bad man, lost without
A hope for passage on the last plane out
Man of reason, hide your face
Walking backwards, losing race
Good man, bad man, lost without
A hope for passage on the last plane out

[Chorus]
Man of reason, not of rhyme
Keep the spoils and share the crime
Good man, bad man, lost without
A hope for passage on the last plane out

[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
