It all comes back to bite you (in the end)

I wanna go where the mad things are

I wanna drive in a big fast car 

I wanna party with the movie stars 

but it all comes back to bite you in the end 

I wanna go where the explorers went 

up the mountainside in an alpine tent 

or go where no-one’s ever been sent 

but it all comes back to bite you in the end

I wanna go where the rich folk go 

live in a beach house in Acapulco 

playing games of chance in Monaco 

but it all comes back to bite you in the end

I tried to run with the hounds and hares 

tried to make friends with the grizzly bears 

and the lions too, but I soon got scared 

and they all came back to bite me (in the end)
