playing my tune for you

dig that deal and be a millionaire
drinking cocktails in the stratosphere
getting jetlagged with my business friends in these supersonic wonderlands
there's a flicker on the graphic display,
first he's smiling then he's fading away
maybe he thinks tomorrow's just a joke
it's a joke after joke after joke after joke
