Jillette Johnson - When the Ship Goes Down [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I wanna live in a better part of town
Over the park in a bed of garlands
With an ivory banister I can slide down
And a man outside that I call Simon
I wanna fall asleep in a cashmere nightgown

When the ship goes down

I wanna live in a better part of town
Where I don't have to hide my diamonds
The bourgeoisie are bubbling around
But they can't touch my sweet asylum
They'll put me on the first life boat out

When the ship goes down
When the ship goes down

We deserve a chauffeur in our car
Black truffle loaded with caviar
White gloves to open up every door
Life is short, let’s get what we came for
La La La, I want more
La La, and I'll get what I came for
La La La, I want more

I wanna get high and never come down
Mountains of white and music so loud
I wanna die with jewels in my crown

When the ship goes down
When the ship goes down
When the ship goes down
