lyrics

Stuck in Central Booking you were searching for a friendly face
You thought you caught her looking she was only staring into space
You’re gonna lose it
You lost it on the train, once you lost it in the rain
But there’s nobody complains like you
You’re gonna lose it
You lose it on a dime, boy you lose it every time
And there’s not a thing that you can do
You pile up your money and you save it for a rainy day
(You sure got lucky with that pretty little score in L.A.)
Forget about it sonny all that paper’s gonna blow away
(She’s gonna pack her shiny things and find another place to stay)
You’re gonna lose it
Your father lost it all, still he had himself a ball
And your mother lost it too, you know
Youre gonna lose it
Your teachers might have tried, but they’re frozen up inside
‘Cause they lost it a long time ago
You lock it down
You keep it hid
Don’t make a sound ‘bout the terrible things you did
Never never never never never never never never
Never never never never never never never never
You’re gonna lose it
You lost it on the train, once you lost it in the rain
But there’s nobody complains like you
You’re gonna lose it
You lose it on a dime, boy you lose it every time
And there’s not a thing that you can do
You’re gonna lose it
Your father lost it all, still he had himself a ball
And your mother lost it too, you know
Youre gonna lose it
Your teachers might have tried, but they’re frozen up inside
‘Cause they lost it a long time ago
