lyrics

Verse1

You always let people push you around
you never save your face.
You’ve been used all over town
You feel like a disgrace.

It's about time you get even
Just go out and settle the score
All you need is a little vengeance
That's what all your rage is for

Chorus

Try it once, what could go wrong?
Take a chance, don’t you want to belong
To the living
You look like a fool so clean
Working is getting dirty

Verse 2

You’ve been bored with all the nice girls,
You need more of an adventure
You meet a girl that's out of this world
She's starts tripping all your sensors

You should see if she can fulfill
All the dreams of your prescription
You won't have to buy a cheap thrill
If she's living in your fiction

Chorus

Verse 3

You should get up out of Salt Lake
Take a trip to the sin city
You've avoided any heartache
By avoiding any whimsy

Play some games of chance and risk
Stay somewhere that's way too fancy
Find the muse and steal a kiss
Lady Luck might join your dancing

Chorus
