La Roux – Tropical Chancer lyrics

He'll take the money, and the food that's in my hand
But you have to understand that he's a dreamer,
Living and laughing in a mind you can't believe
This place turns honest men into thieves.

And I
Can see it in his eyes,
It was that time
To sail out from the night.

I met him through a dancer,
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer.
A tropical chancer,
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer.
I met him through a dancer,
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer.
A tropical chancer,
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer.

He'll trade your loving for the things he's never seen,
The places he has never been.
Above the member he is just a good pretender,
And he doesn't give his love away for free.

And I can see it in his eyes,
It was the time
To sail out from the night.

I met him through a dancer,
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer.
A tropical chancer,
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer.
I met him through a dancer,
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer.
A tropical chancer,
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer.

I met him through a dancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
A tropical chancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
I met him through a dancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
A tropical chancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
