A fifty says it'll beat you

Out from underneath you

It's taking everything that you've worked for

And you know it



I see you around downtown

It never leaves you

Purchase or a trade-you're getting deeper

And if you can pull yourself out of this one-wow, Shelly Shelly



I know that you say it never gets you down, Shelly Shelly

And that you know it would never push you round, Shelly Shelly

You think that you can maintain this lifestyle now, Shelly Shelly?

Well I've got news for you girl-you look like hell, Shelly Shelly



Feeling souped on dope-sppon in your hand

Staring at the sea, staring at the sand

And I will never know how it came to this, Shelly Shelly

Well I may seem uptight to you, but I'm right

Because the shell of pathetic you speaks loud, Shelly Shelly



I know that you say it never gets you down, Shelly Shelly

And that you know it would never push you round, Shelly Shelly

You think that you can maintain this lifestyle now, Shelly Shelly?

Well I've got news for you girl-you look like hell, Shelly Shelly
