[Verse 1]
Fame can have strange effects
Money can have strange effects
[Chorus]
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
[Verse 2]
Drink can alter you
Girls can have strange effects, too
[Chorus]
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
We all know boats don't last
We all know cars are fast
[Chorus]
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Fame can have strange effects
Money can have strange effects
[Chorus]
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
[Verse 2]
Drink can alter you
Girls can have strange effects, too
[Chorus]
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
We all know boats don't last
We all know cars are fast
[Chorus]
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
I ask myself, "Is it a sin?"
To be flexible when the boat comes in
