The jet set steal each others' men
And women
Ride each other
Through the star-encrusted night
Everything's allright
When chips are down
There's always trips
In other peoples' clothes
Hey jaded rose
Hey deepset jewel
Why must you be so cruel?
The jet set up each others' price
And vices
Toast each other
In the yacht-bespangled bay
Everything's so gay
When time is bad
There's always sniffs
While other faces pose
Hew jaded rose
Hey deepset jewel
How can you be so cruel?
The jet set smash each others' cars
And wine bars
Smoke each other
Through the hide-upholstered dream
Everything's the cream
When games are lost
There's always planes
To other peoples' shows
Hey jaded rose
Hey deepset jewel
How can you be so cruel?
Through the coloured glass
I can see I'm getting
out of my class
There's a German girl
With a ringmaster's whip
At the front of the ship
O drag me down so I can't see
How high you get
O bring me up so I can't see
The low hung places
Where we met
You and me
Jet set
The jet set grab each others' purse
And reverse
Ask each other
To the diamond sequinned bal
Everything is all
(Into each pocket
A little rain must fall)
When wine is spilt
There's always laughs
In someone else's nose
Hey jaded rose
Hey deepsetjewel
Hey jaded rose
Why must you be so cruel?
