LOST IN THE SHUFFLE (Rue)

Daydream into nightmare, lights out, front to back,
Seems he couldn't afford to have that heart attack.
But I knew this man, I was the one with him when he died,
And he still was in his prime, he still had his pride,
But he got
LOST IN THE SHUFFLE

When he makes love there's always a TV close by
He's so remote, so controlled, his finger heat-seeking something hot,
He's so above it all, is it good, or bad, or what?
But he's got to get a little taste of what his buddy's got.
So she got
LOST IN THE SHUFFLE

You try to live your life with a little bit of class, a little bit of style,
They say "Turn the other cheek", but you only got two and there goes your smile,
Someone else is always gonna grab it and someone else is always gonna have the means,
And as long as it's up for sale, honey, your grass will never be that green.
And you get
LOST IN THE SHUFFLE
