I heard you bought a hotel by the riverside,
I heard business is booming in the city...
I might pay you a visit
I see you've got a new girl on your arm
I see you on the cover of the papers...
You've really made it, ain't ya?

Not that what I should say, should ever take away
From all that you've achieved and money that you've made
But isn't it a shame, that of all that you've saved,
You couldn't take one penny of it with you to the grave

Because you had a ticket to the high life,
You traded it for our life,
So we had to go our separate ways
And all that you were looking for was fortune,
Forgot about your virtue,
And love was lost and time was swept away.


I heard you're always working
You never catch a break,
This is the life, you earned it
The proof is in the pay
You thought that you were winning,
You thought you could escape,
when you got that old ticket,
And jumped onto your train


Not that what I should say, should ever take away
From all that you've achieved and money that you've made
But isn't it a shame, that of all that you've saved,
You couldn't take one penny of it with you to the grave

Because you had a ticket to the high life,
You traded it for our life,
So we had to go our separate ways
And all that you were looking for was fortune,
Forgot about your virtue,
And love was lost and time was swept away

Ticket, Ticket,
Ticket, Ticket,
Ticket, Ticket,
Ticket, Ticket


Because he had a ticket to the high life,
He traded it for our life,
So we had to go our separate ways
And all that he was looking for was fortune,
Forgot about his virtue,
And love was lost and time was swept away
