Lloyd Cole - Lets Get Lost Lyrics

lucy jumped from the 39th floor
said she just couldn`t face another poor man
every juke box stuck on "who`s next"
they almost got me when jimmy said

let`s get lost
but we`re gonna fall
a change of weather couldn`t do you no harm
let`s get lost
pick up your feet
don`t tempt late, boy, get a pair of cheap skates

penny walked in with that love in vain look
said every last man should be hanging from a meat hook
she looked in my eye singing "marry me bill"
i loosened my tie just as jimmy said

let`s get lost
go work on a farm
a change of weather couldn`t do you no harm
let`s get lost
pick up your feet
don`t tempt late, boy, get a pair of cheap skates

and i was so depressed today...

bobby said "we`re going to be rich quick"
you buy a brand new car-you get automatic cash back
pick up a parking lot-no money down
he was counting the cost just as jimmy said

let`s get lost
go work on a farm
a change of weather couldn`t do you no harm
let`s get lost
pick up your feet
don`t tempt late, boy, get a pair of cheap skates
get lost,let`s get lost
come on let`s get lost
let`s get lost
go buy a pair of cheap skates
