Perry Leary - Julia (When the Chips Are Down) Lyrics

Julia has some kind of weird, unpredictable love and now she's afraid
'Cause she knows damn well, through all these years in spite of everything she has made
A lot of mistakes now she's well aware whatever she does ain't no piece of cake
Well, he ain't no fool though his poor, young heart some day she's sure gonna break

When the chips are down
Well she's gonna frown
'Cause she can never hold her ground
She's gonna freak out
What's this all about
No, she just can't figure it out

Julia one fine summer day is eager to take a walk across town
She's got nowhere to go she needs to forget she winds up hangin' around
In her old neighborhood now she's understood she's been waitin' long enough
Her visions are true and she always knew that trippin' would never turn her off

When the chips are down
She'll be out of town
'Cause she can never ever be bound
To just anything
Not even a fling
No matter what the future will bring
