Lyrics

DIRE STRAITS
VERSE 1
Got to pay the bills, but money’s lookin’ tight.
Got to feed myself, but my pocket’s feelin’ light
I’ve been looking for something to cheer me up, but I’m runnin’ out of time.
I’ve been trying so hard just to get ahead, I’ve ended up behind.
BRIDGE
Bad decisions and failure…
…At the bottom of Australia.
CHORUS
I’m in Dire Straits.
I’m in Dire Straits.
VERSE 2
Got to feed the kids, and I need to pay the rent.
With the prices going up, money’s all been spent.
I’ve been hoping for some kind of happiness, it’s a dream if it’s a thought.
I’ve been seeing what I can sell so I, can pay for what I’ve bought.
BRIDGE
Bad decisions and failure…
…At the bottom of Australia.
CHORUS
I’m in Dire Straits.
I’m in Dire Straits.
Yes, I need to work, but my bodies given up.
Yes, I am alone, but I’ve really wanted love.
I am staring down the barrel of a… a loaded gun.
Now I’m dying as a result of, having too much fun.
Bad decisions and failure…
…At the bottom of Australia.
CHORUS
I’m in Dire Straits.
I’m in Dire Straits.
