Lyrics Worse For Where - King Prawn

Worse For Where

The city, the city, the city weeps
It’s turned out and burnt out 'til nothing hurts
Three six five and worse for where
Born into its own despair
I’m in for the ride
I’m gonna get strapped in and take the borderline
Sit back, call the Cadillac
Everybody wanna boogie down tonight
Perma urban armour
Gonna kick it right back to the golden morning down
Cheapskate space cadets
You wanna see how quick it escalates
I’m in the backseat with my shakers in my hand
Cannibals gather when they hear that JuJu sound
Dance in the mirror like it’s Thriller all around
Caught in the headlights shines a jewel in the crown
Late in the night, I’m worse for where
So I turn to the neon glare
This lighthouse is my morning prayer savior
I’m blinded, I’m blinded
Where the hell are we?
What is this place?
Who are you people?!
No time to get off
You see my demon driver turn the volume up
Whip that, shake your body 'bout
Run it all down to the last denario
Scorcher terra firma
Playing with the fire but you don’t get burnt
Magic charm in hand
You’ve got to rip that monkey off your back
I’m in the backseat with my shakers in my hand
Cannibals gather when they hear that JuJu sound
Dance in the mirror like it’s Thriller all around
Caught in the headlights shines a jewel in the crown
Late in the night I’m worse for where
And now there’s trouble in the air
It’s only moving in slow motion, frozen
It’s silent, it’s silent
In this city, you can find no luxury
Cash coin collectors grow and line the streets
And in this city you can’t eat all you see
You take the best from the worse and worst to be
You run the red light 'cause there’s action up ahead
Like Icarus, you fly now your wings are spread
Look up to the skies above you see there’s something there
An empty plastic bag flying through the air
