Quickstep by J Church Lyrics

Pond Scum Plum is as cool as they come
And he's swinging from the chandeliers
He doesn't even care about his girlfriend's affair
As long as he can spend the night drinking by the pier
He laughs and says "Love ruins everything"
But he doesn't really mean it
It's the drugs talking
Lolita takes one look and knows everything
The stars are incidental, could be anything

I'll learn the quickstep, scissors step, side chassé
Quickstep, scissors step, side chassé
Quickstep, scissors step, side chassé
Yeah, yeah, whatever it takes

With steady drink in hand, I'm drawing up a plan
In the hopes of tonight's pre-occupations
The girls just wanna know what is on the stereo
Is it Elvis or just imitation?
We're fending off another year
Our private little club
Hoping that the alcohol is gonna be enough
It's early in the morning and the diner isn't fun
The waitress' feet drag while the eggs begin to run
I'll learn the quickstep, scissors step, side chassé
Quickstep, scissors step, side chassé
Quickstep, scissors step, side chassé
Yeah, yeah, whatever it takes

Fuck this, my body: a trashcan
I woke up today with the shakes again
It's 98 degrees and I can't take the noise
I'm living in a box and unemployed
Last night I passed out in all of my clothes
Somewhere along the lines I got a bloody nose
Winners get medals and front-page news
I want a trophy every time that I lose

I'll learn the quickstep, scissors step, side chassé
Quickstep, scissors step, side chassé
Quickstep, scissors step, side chassé
Yeah, yeah, whatever it takes
