Threat of Joy Lyrics

monologue:
"Okay, I see how it is now.
You don't have time to play with me anymore.
That’s how it goes.
I guess, Fuck the rest !
Be right there, honey.

song:
I’m gonna take my time to say
Take my time today
I’m gonna take what comes my way
Take what they give me
Yeah, I want my money now
But he is not around
You better hold my money safe
What's your emergency?

And for the first time in my life
I’m gonna get myself right
Just get into trouble
Be there on the double

and for the first time
in my life
gonna get mys
self right
just get into trouble
be there on the double

Place your bets this time
Just has to let it ride
I tr- I tried to take a roll
But the dice are on parole
I won't look down your dress
I bet you bend down as a test
I cannot wait to chase it all
Yeah, I saw it in my crystal ball

Friday night is shining like
A secret for a spy
I got a better idea
I'll bet you on the side
When I get up in your face
You know it’s no surprise
Ah baby, why's it so hard to read the sentence in my eyes?

And for the first time
Changing your legs
I spent a while
Then decided on you
My baby doll
You ignored your life
We’ll do it together
I’ll be there whenever

Oh, you took a minute grief
And said, "thumbs up, they’re okay."
I’m going to watch the tidal wave
It’s hard to chase away

I'm gonna take my time to say, "Take my time today" I'm gonna take what comes my way Take what they give me

Yea, I want my money now But he is not around You better hold my money safe... What's your emergency?

And for the first time in my life I'm gonna get myself right

Let's get into trouble Be there on the double

Place your bets this time Decides to let it ride I tried to take a roll But the dice are on parole

I won't look down your dress But you bend down as a test I cannot wait to chase it all Yea, I saw it in my crystal ball

Friday night is hiding like a secret from a spy "I got a better idea," I bet you on the side When I get up in your face you know it's no surprise Baby why's it so hard to read the sentence in my eyes

And for the first time Changing your looks I spent a while deciding for you, my baby doll You ignored your life

Let's do it together I'll be there whenever

You check them in their grave And say, "Thumbs up they're okay" I'm gonna watch the tidal wave It's hard to chase away
