Washed Up And Left For Dead

His common knowledge is always one exception
Not quite part of the crowd
He tries so hard just to laugh in the right places
But he knows it's just not funny
He has this feeling, he just knows it
They don't like him 'cause he's different
He knew all about the no-go areas
Still, he went there on his own

He was washed up and left for dead
Nobody told him he was just not wanted
It gets so cold after midnight, oh yeah

Don't want the money, he just wants the fame
There's something driving him insane
His friends don't like him 'cause they think that he's so stupid
So he just goes out on his own
He saw a movie that night and it moved him
It was just like his life story
But he got jumped by some thugs on the way home
No one came to his rescue

He was washed up and left for dead
Nobody told him he was just not wanted
It gets so cold after midnight, oh yeah

Night after night, he's out fighting the bad man
Hear the trans tappin' for the groove
He can't dance, but he can struggle
He can struggle, yeah
Ooh

Washed up and left for dead
Nobody told him he was just not wanted
It gets so cold after midnight, oh yeah

Take your partners for the last tango
And doble

His common knowledge is always one exception
Not quite part of the crowd
He tries so hard just to laugh in the right places
But he knows it's just not funny
He saw a movie that night and it moved him
It was just like his life story
But he got jumped by some thugs on the way home
No one came to his rescue

Hey
It'll soon be time to be out on the streets again
