Worse For Where - King Prawn

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
