THE SOVIETTES LYRICS

"Portland"

A $50 says it'll beat you.
Out from underneath you, it's taking everything that you've worked for, and you know it.
I see you around downtown. It never leaves you.
Purchase or a "trade" - you're getting deeper,
And if you can pull yourself out of this one - wow Shelly Shelly.

Ooh, I know you say that it never gets you down Shelly Shelly
And that you know it would never push you 'round Shelly Shelly.
You think that you can maintain this lifestyle now Shelly Shelly?
Well, I've got news for you girl - you look like hell Shelly Shelly.

Feeling souped on dope - spoon in your hand staring at the sea,
Staring at the sand and I will never know how it came to this Shelly Shelly.
Well - I may seem uptight to you,
But I'm right because the shell of pathetic you speaks loud Shelly Shelly.

Ooh, yeah, you always say that it never gets you down Shelly Shelly
(I know say that it never gets you down)
And that you know it would never push you 'round Shelly Shelly.
(And that you know it would never push you 'round)
You think that you can maintain this lifestyle now Shelly Shelly?
(You think that you can maintain this lifestyle now)
Well, I've got news for you girl - you look like hell Shelly Shelly.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, Yeah, I know you say that it never gets you down Shelly Shelly
(I know say that it never gets you down)
And that you know it would never push you 'round Shelly Shelly.
(And that you know it would never push you 'round)
You think that you can maintain this lifestyle now Shelly Shelly?
(You think that you can maintain this lifestyle now)
Well, I've got news for you girl - you look like hell Shelly Shelly.
