He'll take the money and the food that's in your hand

But you have to understand that he's a dreamer

Living your life within a mile you could believe

This place turns honest men to thieves.

And I

Could see it in his eyes

He was the type

To sail off in the night.

[X2]

I met him through a dancer

Didn't know he was a tropical chancer

A tropical chancer

Didn't know he was a tropical chancer.

He'll trade your love in for the things he's never seen

The places he has never been

Oh but remember he is just a good pretender

And he doesnt give his love away for free.

And I

Could see it in his eyes

He was the type

To sail off in the night.

[X4]

I met him through a dancer

Didn't know he was a tropical chancer

A tropical chancer

Didn't know he was a tropical chancer.
