The Plimsouls - Play The Breaks lyrics

When every day's a rollercoaster ride And your wicked thirst can't be satisfied When you know this time you've gone a little too far And you want to come back but you don't know how Now your whole world is hanging by a thread You can't remember what it was you did Big man in junk (?) is trying to sway your mind You need to find out before you run out of time Everybody's talking a little too tough Girls on your list just can't give you enough And you've got the shakes You gotta play the breaks When you've been in the thick of it for a little too long Had your pick of the litter but now something's wrong The man with the money's throwing you a bone And all you caught was a quick trip home That special someone who just spins you 'round It's time to pick your head up off the ground And get it straight You gotta play the breaks You gotta take it as it comes You gotta catch it on the run Now it's a wonder you got nowhere to go Better count your blessings, count your change It's a wonder you can just relax This world keeps turning 'round You can't turn it back You can't turn it back And for heaven's sake... You've got to play the breaks.
