Pay your money
Take your chances
The wheels spinning going round and round
No angels hanging from the ceiling can save you
No, no Saint Jude can pull you out
No use in running from the shadows of strangers
The odds are hard they let you down
No words written in the songs can save you
The silence drowns you there's no way out
Falling down again
Hey little girl
Falling down again
Don't ask me if it hurts
ย
She walks down the street
Leaves fall at her feet
She loves to hear them crush
Call out her name but she just looks the other way
Cause she ain't got the time
Then she sings
La la la la
Na na na na
Ha ha ha ha
La la la la
Na na na na
Ha ha ha ha
Knock on her door but she ain't ever at home
So you try the phone
It rings and rings and you're so sick of that thing
But you can't wish her home
Then she sings
La la la la
Na na na na
Ha ha ha ha
La la la la
Na na na na
Ha ha ha ha
So you write her a letter
Cause you can't think of anything better
You're so proud of yourself
She tears it in two and she throws it over her shoulder
Cause she don't want bad luck
Then she sings
La la la la
Na na na na
Ha ha ha ha
La la la la
Na na na na
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Waltzing Matilda, she slipped out her wallet
Sexy boy smiled in dismay
She pulled out four twenties 'cause she likes round figures
You know, everyone's a queen for a day
Babe, I'm on fire, I know that you admire
My body, why don't we slip away?
Although I'm sure you're certain
To ready me flirtin'
Sha-la-la-la, this way
ย
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, man
ย
Why don't we slip away?
ย
You know, it's hot out in the desert
The trailer gets even hotter
You sit there and you write, you dream, you pray
ย
Why don't we?
Why don't we, why don't we, why don't we, why don't we
Why don't we, why don't we, why don't we slip away?
Come on, baby
Come on, let's just slip away
ย
Pay money, take your chances
The wheels spinning, going 'round and 'round
No angels hanging from the ceiling can save you
No, no, Saint Jude can't pull you out
Falling down again
Hey, little girl, yeah
Falling down again
Don't ask me if I care
ย
Thank you very much
ย
Thank you so much, thank you very much
