Retail Therapy

© 2017 Mark Cote

alarm barking at you
another week to muddle through
napping on the train again
be awake before the end

she's got the work day blues
she wants to buy new shoes
but she's got bills to pay
so it's another day

(chorus) retail therapy
                     it'll do you good
                     retail therapy
                     you know you should
                     retail therapy
                    you're going uptown
                     retail therapy
                    is going down

office talk in the air
but her mind stops and stares
watching the face tic toc
waiting for shop-o'clock

(chorus)

(bridge) it's a credit card war
                    going store to store
                    nobody but her
                    know just what for

(instrumental)

for a while she doesn't care
for a while she'll smell the air
her escape from all the stress
doesn't worry about all the rest

(chorus)
