I pull it out again from my back pocket The leather’s old and it’s starting to crack Cards stacked up like quiet little lies Rent is coming but I push it to the back I’m standing here in this store I always go to Music playing low, people moving slow My thumb runs over the edge of the plastic Part of me knows I should probably just go My heart picks up when I hold it in my hand The numbers will drop but I don’t want to think For a minute I just want to feel okay Even if it’s only make believe Plastic paradise, swipe it slow Take me somewhere I can let things go Buy the drink, forget the week I had Make me feel like I’m not doing bad Plastic paradise, hold me close Let me pretend I’m in control One more round, one more night like this Maybe tomorrow I’ll figure out the rest I know this feeling doesn’t really last But damn it feels good when the music hits right New shoes on my feet, a round for the boys For a couple of hours I don’t stress about life She’s laughing at something I just said Her eyes are warm and I don’t want to leave I don’t tell her my account’s getting thin I just smile and order another drink My heart picks up when I hold it in my hand The balance goes down but the night feels warm One more time before I face the truth Let me stay here just a little longer Plastic paradise, swipe it slow Take me somewhere I can let things go Buy the drink, forget the week I had Make me feel like I’m not doing bad Plastic paradise, hold me close Let me pretend I’m in control One more round, one more night like this Maybe tomorrow I’ll figure out the rest Plastic paradise, swipe it slow (oh oh) Take me somewhere I can let things go Buy the drink, forget the week I had (yeah yeah) Make me feel like I’m not doing bad no, no nooo! Plastic paradise, don’t let me down I know this high won’t stick around (oh oh!) One more night before I pay the price Maybe tomorrow I’ll get this right (all right)
