Lloyd Cole - Let's get lost Lyrics

Lucy jumped from the 39th floor
Said, she just couldn't face another poor man
Every juke box stuck on, "Who's next"
They almost got me when Jimmy said

Let's get lost
But we're gonna fall
A change of weather couldn't do you no harm
Let's get lost
Pick up your feet
Don't tempt late, boy, get a pair of cheap skates

Penny walked in with that love in vain look
Said, ‽Every last man should be hangin' from a meat hook”
She looked in my eye singin', "Marry me Bill"
I loosened my tie just as Jimmy said

Let's get lost
Go work on a farm
A change of weather couldn't do you no harm
Let's get lost
Pick up your feet
Don't tempt late, boy, get a pair of cheap skates

And I was so depressed today
Yeah, I was so depressed today

Bobby said, "We're goin' to get rich quick"
You buy a brand new car, you get automatic cash back
Pick up a parkin' lot, no money down
He was countin' the cost just as Jimmy said

Let's get lost
Go work on a farm
A change of weather couldn't do you no harm
Let's get lost
Pick up your feet
Don't tempt late, boy, get a pair of cheap skates

Get lost, let's get lost
Come on, let's get lost
Let's get lost
Go buy a pair of cheap skates
