Complications

(album: Jackrabbit Slim - 1979)

Hey-a, complications
Complications going down
Complications in your lifetime
Complications all around

Well, I say it, ah, complications
Complications in the wind
Complications where you're bound for, yes
Complications where you been

So you're trying to do your job
And trying to earn a dollar
Trying to do the best that you can
Trying to pay the rent
And keep your lights a-shining
Trying to be a simple kind of man

Yes indeed, but it's a complications
Complications here to stay
Complications every night now
Complications every day

Ah, Tony planned a trip to Florida
To find his friend the sun
But a cold, old northern winter brought him down
He was headed for the airport
When the snow began to fall
It was days before he finally left the ground

Too bad, but it's a complications
Complications in the air
Complications in the forecast, ah yes
Complications everywhere, everywhere, now

Judy finally got that vehicle
The auto of her dreams
And it's a flashy supersonic road machine
Now she pulls into the station
There's a sign up on the pumps
It says, "I'm sorry, but we're out of gasoline"

Too bad, but old complications
Complications all the time
Complications in your footsteps Judy
Complications in your mind

Well, so you're walking down the street
You meet up with a friend
And he seems to be a little mad at you
Yes, he decks you with a punch
And leaves you on the ground there
Trying to wonder why without a clue
Without a clue

It's a, woah, complications
Complications going down
Complications in your lifetime
Complications all, all around

Them old complications
Complications in the wind
Complications where ya bound for
And it's complications where ya been

Ya know it is a...

Uh-huh...
