They let me go at work
My wife separated from me
I lost to Chino on a loan and how will I give it
The rent flows, debts
My life is getting away from me
Countless bills and mistaken sums

And as if all of that wasn’t enough
In Attiki this afternoon
I got fined for a fire extinguisher 80 euros
And in my streak of bad luck
I go into a panic
I put my best clothes on, I take what I have, I go out and
I dance, I dance, whatever problems I have I set them aside
I take my mind off my worries, I gain momentum I go to the bar
I order tequila and drink and drink
For the moment for joy for comfort

Anxiety hits on the one side
And from the other the heart
With a slow heart I take pills for insomnia
In the film the revenue office pulls out a gun
I put my hands up I scream “murder”
I tell them I need time since I have been paying for years

And as if all of that wasn’t enough
In Attiki this afternoon
I got fined for a fire extinguisher 80 euros
And in my streak of bad luck
I go into a panic
I put my best clothes on, I take what I have, I go out and
I dance, I dance, whatever problems I have I set them aside
I take my mind off my worries, I gain momentum I go to the bar
I order tequila and drink and drink
For the moment for joy for comfort

And I dance, I dance, whatever problems I have I set them aside
I take my mind off my worries, I gain momentum I go to the bar
I order tequila and drink and drink
For the moment for joy for comfort

Και χορεύω, χορεύω ό, τι προβλήματα έχω στην άκρη τ` αφήνω
Ξεδίνω, παίρνω φόρα πάω στο μπαρ
Βάζω τεκίλα και πίνω και πίνω
Για την στιγμή για την χαρά για την παρηγοριά
