lyrics

Sequestered in the cellar with 40,000 pieces of plastic
Drastic times called for something just a little bit more fantastic
While you fluttered above me with those fluttering lashes
You can mark my words, my words were remarkably sarcastic

And you can take it as gospel, take it as truth
Take me away I’ve been taken with you
And you’ve taken all of my time
Somebody told me that...

No good deed goes unpunished, no good deed goes unpunished
Walter Reed had his hunches and he was right, you give me fever tonight

I’ve got $10,000 of my own money invested in my deal
Oh so don’t get me started on the necessary evils
I have shown you the ropes and the dope now step off of my coat tails
You’ve got to ride your next ticket back to the land of free meals

And you can take it as gospel, take it as truth
Take me away I’ve been taken with you
And you’ve taken all of my time
Somebody told me that...

No good deed goes unpunished, no good deed goes unpunished
Walter Reed had his hunches and he was right, you give me fever tonight

You’ve been a bee in my bonnet right from the start
I should not have offered up my sardonic heart to you
Somebody told me that

And you can take it as gospel, take it as truth
Take me away I’ve been taken by you
And you’ve taken all of my time

No good deed goes unpunished, no good deed goes unpunished
Walter Reed had his hunches and he was right, you give me fever tonight
Tonight
Tonight
