the purpendicular waltz

put your money down, take your choice, that's the way it is, every time with these boys, and you sense no shame, and you feel no disgrace, somebody wins, somebody loses, it's a dirty dirty race, oh my life, it's a dog's life, one empty monday, out of the blue, took a good luck turn, started something new, out of the gutter, out of the rain, out of my head, and i'm feeling no pain, oh my life/feeling no pain, take the strain, it's a dog's life, ducking in the shadows, diving in the dark, rolling with the punches, striking at the heart, touching all the sense's, breaking those taboos, bursting at the seams, blowing all my fuses, the turning of a page, the burning of a book, talking out of turn, just the way you look, when the time is right, but the shape is wrong, and you find yourself, where you don't belong, back to reality, back on the line, back into this and you'll feel no pain, you wanna do it one more time, we can do it once again, oh my life, it's a dog's life
