Temporary Arrangement

Hey, Mr. Arnstein
Here's your ace

It's a temporary arrangement
When you're down
There's nowhere to go but up

I find that lady luck changes affection
Fortune's a fickle dame
Haven't run into them lately
But both of them know my name
It's a temporary estrangement
From the crystal dish and the silver knife

But there's another side, to the coin
Tomorrow night, tenderloin
'Cause a temporary arrangement
Is the only permanent thing in life

I find that lady luck changes affection
Fortune's a fickle dame
Haven't run into them lately
But both of them know my name
It's a temporary estrangement
From the crystal dish and the silver knife

'Cause a temporary arrangement
Is the only permanent thing
Only permanent thing
The only (permanent thing)
Only
Permanent thing!

Temporary, temporary, temporary
In life
