GROCERY STORE (THE BOOGAHDAH)


I HAVE BEEN TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD, I HAVE SEEN THE NUMBERS DANCE
I HAVE SCRATCHED AND CLAWED MY WAY TO RICHES AND ROMANCE
BUT I HAVE NEVER FELT MORE ALIVE
THAN WHEN IN A GAME OF CHANCE
YOU'VE GOT TO HOLD YOUR FACE YOU'VE GOT TO HOLD YOUR PLACE
AND DON'T ADJUST YOUR STANCE
AND I SAY
OH PLEASE, FATES ABOVE
OH PLEASE, SHOW YOUR LOVE


FATES:
SHE'S GOT TO GET TO THE GROCER
SHE'S GOT TO GET TO THE GROCERY STORE.


I HAVE LIVED FROM CHECK TO CHECK I HAVE LIVED FROM MEAL TO MEAL,
I HAVE LET IT ALL RIDE ON A HORSE'S STRIDE AND ON THE NUMBERS ON A WHEEL,
BUT IN THE NONSESNSE OF THE MOMENT
BEFORE THE ECSTASY OR APPEAL,
I CLOSE MY EYES, I TRY TO VISUALIZE,
AND I TRY TO STRIKE A DEAL
AND I SAY


OH PLEASE FATES ABOVE
OH PLEASE SHOW YOUR LOVE


SHE'S GOT TO GET TO THE GROCER
SHE'S GOT TO GET, TO THE GROCERY STORE.
