Lyrics
On a summer's day, walking the beach, I had my eye on a beautiful girl
We went out on a date, then we fell in love, I was the center of her world
But suddenly her orbit changed, she began to perturbate
I didn't have enough gravity, her escape did accelerate
Plutoed again
All washed up, a has been
I will still revolve, it ain't the end
But I've been Plutoed again
At poker night with my gambling friends I was holding a winning hand
Three kings and two aces, I was feeling oh so grand
I raised it to the limit, I was overconfident
Then we laid 'em down, I saw four tens, and away my fortune went
Plutoed again
All washed up, a has been
I will still revolve, it ain't the end
But I've been Plutoed again
INSTRUMENTAL
Had a conference with my boss at work, he said cutbacks were underway
There were too many managers, did I really want to stay
He said I had two choices, layoff or reassign
So it's goodbye to my office, hello assembly line
Plutoed again
All washed up, a has been
I will still revolve, it ain't the end
But I've been Plutoed again
Bridge:
Can't afford the health resort
Shot down in flames in small claims court
I lost my bet on the Super Bowl
This losing streak is spinning out of control
I've been Plutoed again
All washed up, a has been
I will still revolve, it ain't the end
But I've been Plutoed again
