Clubland |
With a handful of backhanders and a bevy of beauty |
You’re going off limits |
Going off duty |
Going off the rails |
Going off with booty |
They tell tales of fiction found on all the criminal types |
Lead to a higher ranking man or a face with thin red stripes |
The boys next door |
The mums and dads |
New weds and nearly-deads |
Have you ever been had in Clubland? |
There’s a piece in someone’s pocket to do the dirty work |
You’ve come to shoot the pony |
They’ve come to do the jerk |
They leave him half way to paradise |
They leave you half way to bliss |
The ladies' invitation never seemed like this |
The long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town |
Meanwhile in Clubland they are ready to pull them down |
Hey |
The right to work is traded in for the right to refuse admission |
Don’t pass out now, there’s no refund |
(when) Did you find out what you were missing |
The crowd is taking forty winks minus ten percent |
You barely get required sleep to go lingering with contemptment |
Thursday to Saturday |
Money’s gone already |
Some things come in common these days |
Your hands and work aren’t steady |
