what’cha gonna do when the sun goes down tonight
you’ll hit the same old clubs rap that same old trash
that’s right
you’ve got them real silk shirts and them baggy pants
dago shoes in the colors that match
but the girls are acting bored
and you’re feeling like you’re going to lose
you’ve got the gq blues
you get up every morning and you go to work each day
you go to work you go to work you go to work
been doing the same damn job for ten long years this may
you’ve got to work you’ve got to work you’ve got to work
you’ve been working and saving for your jamaican dream
paradise is waiting across the sea
but when your plane lands montego turns to monsoon
you’ve got the island blues
hook
cause nothing ever goes as planned
it’s a hell of a notion
even pharaohs turn to sand
like a drop in the ocean
you’re so together and you act so civilized
but every time that things go wrong you’re still surprised
you’ve done your duty you’ve paid a fortune in dues
still got those mother nature’s blues
i strut around the stage like a little king tonight
they’ll scream for every word and every note that’s right
but when the show is over and i’m all alone
can’t reach my baby on the telephone
and everywhere i look mr loneliness is in the news
i’ve got the big star blues
hook
boy nothing ever goes as planned
it’s a hell of a notion
even pharaohs turn to sand
like a drop in the ocean
i’m so together and i act so civilized
but every time that things go wrong
i’m still surprised
i’ve done my duty and paid a fortune in dues
still got them mother nature’s blues
