Lyrics:
Verse 1
He was on his way to meet her
He didn’t know what to say
He wasn’t gonna mess this up
He just got paid
She was on her way to meet him
She knew just what to say
This wasn’t her first rodeo
And he just got paid.
Chorus:
With Friends like these
Its like placing bets
Welcome to Fishtown
Don’t get caught in the nets
With friends like these
You don’t get what you see
There’s sharks in Fishtown
They just look like teen(s)(agers)
Verse 2:
They stalked him in the shadows
It had to be today
Just before the drugs wear off
Their conscience fades away
And everything that’s left
Is sure to find a way
To make this feeling last
Just one more day
