Let's get lost in a fantasy
Squander your salary
Light a match drop it into gasoline
Live like rock bottom is a trampoline
You and I gonna paint the town
Do it like I'm a date the crown
At a restaurant upper echelon
The only way is down
Brushing off my trainer's dust
And lace them up like
We're cutting narcotics
The day is up I'm paid and flush
And ain't nothing can stop this
Don't make a fuss
We're late no rush and I promise
That you won't go paying
You won't go paying
I walk in like a man made
In door to the café
Menu board needs a translate
Can't afford any canapés
But damn straight I'm a order the champagne
Ever feel like wanting to die
When the cheque makes you vomit inside
Can I get a Heimlich maneuver
I can't swallow my pride
I'm laced up laced up and kicking
Got pay stubs pay stubs for liquor
I'm laced up laced up and kicking
Got pay stubs pay stubs for liquor
I'm laced
She ordered the soup and the salad
I ordered the salad no soup
In order to produce the balance
Guess I'll cough it up like croup
When you're broke coughing up hurts
A Sundae for dessert
And I'll be rocking up Monday
Cleaning crockery and mopping up dirt
Drys for sading my girl
Drys for sading
I'm floored this girl is gorgeous
And if I don't have a war chest
Man that's curtains my dawg
Man that's curtains
If I can't pay for four courses
How could I pay for a mortgage
Wish I could afford to take you
To where you ought to be
Didn't meet your fortune
Miss you met your misfortune in me
This more than I thought it would be
If she orders too much
My background's English and Irish
But I'ma have to go Dutch
I'm laced up laced up and kicking
