Golden Playpen

I'm drunk can't see my glass
Not worried--chair dancing man

Tossed out of the Golden Playpen

Sex talks eats you alive
We go making friends
Till we're satisfied

I'm drunk can't see my glass
Not worried, chair dancing man

Tossed out of the Golden Playpen
Beating the drum of pain and
