Nellie Mckay - Gin Rummy lyrics

Wake up in a small cafe Sweatshop in the sunshine Set sail and you're far away Never using force Cold coffee or cabernet Brick-hoppin' the daydream Shoe drops and you're bound to pay Gotta stay the course You just wanna get, you don't wanna give You may forget, but you'll never forgive And what is the point of live and let live If they're stealin' your cup of joe It's a slick sham, hot damn You wind up in a toe jam You better scram fast, Sam The quicksand's gettin' close Ooh (Now say it again if you will) Ooh Have you got the nerve to give it up at the beginning And does it hurt you (does it hurt you) Does it hurt you (does it hurt you) My time was a miracle Insipid and satirical A madrigal of lyrical twists In the fist of a Christmas invitational Crisp and informational It seemed like a good idea at the time Why cry, mister magpie I spy kofi, fee, I mean, see, I mean Freedom ain't cheap, I mean The first test address No such thing as good press The best dressed messer in all Washington, D.C. Ooh (Now say it again if you will) Ooh Have you got the nerve to give it up at the beginning And does it hurt you (does it hurt you) Does it hurt you (does it hurt you)
