Forging Ahead

I got no gun in my pocket

Just got my suitcase in my hand

I walk right up to the window

I got my speeches all planned

'Cos every boy must make his fortune

Get in you car and cruise

Every stop light's just a caution

Take care 'cos you might lose

I watch the suit in the background

He's got a phone stuck to his ear

Another suit joins into listen

And then they turn round and stare

The teller looks at my number

The teller looks me in the eye

He sees my lips are faintly twitching

He sees my heels as I fly

'Cos every boy must make his fortune

Get in you car and cruise

Every stop light's just a caution

If that's the law you choose

If I can do a trick or two

It's gotta get you in

And if you think I'm thinking

That you haven't seen a thing

But this time I'm gonna hang

I let my suit do the talking

Don't wanna give myself away

My plea is please sir please sir

I'm just a child gone astray

But don't you ask for a whisper

Because you'll get not a word

Yeah I already made my statement

And now I'm forging ahead

'Cos every boy must make his fortune

Get in you car and cruise

Every stop light's just a caution

If that's the law you choose

If I can do a trick or two

It's gotta get you in

And if you think I'm thinking

That you haven't seen a thing

But this time I'm gonna hang on to my skin
