lyrics

I've been on a winning streak
too many days, tell me how many weeks
till the punchline turns the corner
bad things tend to drag their feet
making a good thing absurd to believe
I'm waiting for this sweet dream to sour

[chorus]
doctor, doctor tell me
how can this be healthy
been on a diet of cake
for one too many days
doctor, doctor tell me
is my future wealthy
can I know strength without pain
what good is good without change

I toast champagne to the morning
to the stars in the sky that chaperone in
midnight joyrides down the border
I've seen the face of warning
try and reason with me, stop me from running
I'm counting on this sweet dream to sour

doctor, doctor tell me
how can this be healthy
been on a diet of cake
for one too many days
doctor, doctor tell me
is my future wealthy
can I know strength without pain
what good is good without change

I don't want to feel the pain
of a burning flame burning out
I don’t want to feel the chill of reality

[chorus] x2

I've been on a winning streak
