[Verse 1]

He lives on his own

The TV's on loan

He watches old movies

He lives in a flat

The lino's all cracked

But he's got plans, bingo


[Pre-Chorus]

He sings like Sinatra with more feel

Plays with his pocket roulette wheel all day

And no one stopped him


[Chorus]

He got away

Waited all this time with

All this scratching around

In one place

Made it just in time

All this talk about luck

He's just so loaded

He's just so loaded down


[Verse 2]

He gets on a plane

He changes his name

He flies off to Las Vegas

He saved up for years

He cashed in his fears

He always had plans, bingo


[Pre-Chorus]

He packs up his white lounge lizard suit

Plenty of hairspray and a big cigar

And no one stopped him


[Chorus]

He got away

Took him forty years

To plan his route of escape

From this place

Made it just in time with

All this talk about luck

He's just so loaded

He's just so loaded down


[Chorus]

The first time he flew

Watched the Vegas skyline

Gently melt into view

All this booze

Swore he just saw Elvis

Playing poker at dunes

He's just so loaded

He's just so loaded

He's just so loaded now
