Poor Man's Speedball
City of beauty
Shimmers with night
It gleams of freedom
Then it bursts with light
It's like an old friend
You've finally found
Take me to the canal baby
Spin me around
Spin me around, oh no
Oh you just wanted it all
But you can't get what you want
Just your poor man's speedball
Though her stunning beauty
Shocks you at first sight
She hides a dark side
With a terrible bite
She'll take your money
And everything you own
With a menacing smile
Then hang up the phone
Hang up the phone, oh no
Oh you just wanted it all
But you can't get what you want
Just your poor man's speedball
Though she took everything
You keep crawling back
To her red lanterns
And the oranges on the rack
The waters lose their façade
They bubble up jet black
And you sit there melting
In the bottom of your shack
Bottom of your shack, oh no
Oh you just want it all
But you can't get what you want
Just your poor man's speedball
Shimmers with night
It gleams of freedom
Then it bursts with light
It's like an old friend
You've finally found
Take me to the canal baby
Spin me around
Spin me around, oh no
Oh you just wanted it all
But you can't get what you want
Just your poor man's speedball
Though her stunning beauty
Shocks you at first sight
She hides a dark side
With a terrible bite
She'll take your money
And everything you own
With a menacing smile
Then hang up the phone
Hang up the phone, oh no
Oh you just wanted it all
But you can't get what you want
Just your poor man's speedball
Though she took everything
You keep crawling back
To her red lanterns
And the oranges on the rack
The waters lose their façade
They bubble up jet black
And you sit there melting
In the bottom of your shack
Bottom of your shack, oh no
Oh you just want it all
But you can't get what you want
Just your poor man's speedball
