Play The Breaks Lyrics by The Plimsouls

0

When every day's a rollercoaster ride
And your wicked thirst can't be satisfied
When you know this time you've gone a little too far
And you want to come back but you don't know how
Now your whole world is hanging by a thread
You can't remember what it was you did
Big man in junk (?) is trying to sway your mind
You need to find out before you run out of time
Everybody's talking a little too tough
Girls on your list just can't give you enough
And you've got the shakes
You gotta play the breaks
When you've been in the thick of it
For a little too long
Had your pick of the litter
But now something's wrong
The man with the money's throwing you a bone
And all you caught was a quick trip home
That special someone who just spins you 'round
It's time to pick your head up off the ground
And get it straight
You gotta play the breaks
You gotta take it as it comes
You gotta catch it on the run
Now it's a wonder you got nowhere to go
Better count your blessings, count your change
It's a wonder you can just relax
This world keeps turning 'round
You can't turn it back
You can't turn it back
And for heaven's sake...
You've got to play the breaks
