With a handful of backhanders and a bevy of beauty
You're going off limits
Going off duty
Going off the rails
Going off with booty
They tell tales of fiction found on all the criminal types
Lead to a higher ranking man or a face with thin red stripes
Chorus:
The boys next door
The mums and dads
New weds and nearly-deads
Have you ever been had in Clubland?
There's a piece in someone's pocket to do the dirty work
You've come to shoot the pony
They've come to do the jerk
They leave him half way to paradise
They leave you half way to bliss
The ladies' invitation never seemed like this
Chorus
The long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town
Meanwhile in Clubland they are ready to pull them down
Hey
The right to work is traded in for the right to refuse admission
Don't pass out now, there's no refund
(when) Did you find out what you were missing
The crowd is taking forty winks minus ten percent
You barely get required sleep to go lingering with contemptment
Thursday to Saturday
Money's gone already
Some things come in common these days
Your hands and work aren't steady
ChorusHey, Sebastian, don't be blue
It ain't up to you
Sometimes this world just has a way of goin' astray
And hey, Sebastian, look around
It's a crazy lost and found
We're all tryin' to find a place in this human race to shine
Everybody wants to shine
And brother mine, the way you shine is something to behold
Has anybody ever told you, Sebastian
When you shine you shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold
Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself
Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
No, I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself
Sebastian, don't be blue
Though sometimes it may seem this world ain't made
Ah, for the likes of you
Sometimes it will seem this world ain't made
Ah, for the likes of you
Hey, Sebastian, don't be blue
It ain't up to you
Sometimes this world just has a way of goin' astray
And hey, Sebastian, look around
It's a great big lost and found
You're just tryin' to find a place in this human race to shine
Sebastian, everybody wants to shine
And brother mine, the way you shine is something to behold
Has anybody ever told you, Sebastian
When you shine you shine like gold
You shine like gold
When you shine you shine like gold
Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself
Oh, brother, brother, my little brother
No, I can't save you from this world any more
Than I can save myself, mmm
Sebastian, don't be blue
Though sometimes it will seem this world ain't made
For the likes of you
Sebastian, sometimes it will seem this world ain't made
For the likes of you
Little brother mine, the way you shine is something to behold
And have I ever told you, Sebastian
When you shine you shine like gold
You shine like gold
When you shine you shine
