I have to tell a story - about a man
Never in the mood - to change his life
Nobody wants to help him - as he spirals down
But one day the wrong decision - hit him overnight

No more cocktail parties - champagne´s run dry
No company take-overs - stock markets high
No more hand-jobs in the boardroom - sex is history
And no saunas, no jacuzzis - the penalties you´ll reap

At last he realized - he did it wrong
Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies

He´s going down on his bad luck - his just deserts
He´s going down on his bad luck - what he deserved

His old man told him always - listen son
It´s a two-way street to fortune - you gotta hit and run
Don´t forget the mirror - look who´s behind
And don´t you come up crying - when it´s faster coming down

At last he realized - he did it wrong
Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies

He´s going down on his bad luck - his just deserts
He´s going down on his bad luck - what he deserved
He´s going down on his bad luck - it´s his time
He´s going down on his bad luck - can´t rewind

Do you get the story - you know this man
Have you learned a lesson - do you understand
When all you got is crystal - you shouldn´t cast a stone
So be careful when you go up - ´cause you´ll meet them coming down

He´s going down on his bad luck - his just deserts
He´s going down on his bad luck - what he deserved
He´s going down on his bad luck - it´s his time
He´s going down on his bad luck - can´t rewind
