little lai had a business proposition and he knew that i couldnt say no
he took me in to the glow of tha cabana, and he asked all the ladies to go
he used a key, the kind ive never seen and the box opened up in the light
lai had shown me that the deal was good and the ladies for the rest of the night

little lai was on a path of self destruction
all the fun he'd had was just a game
he didn't know where he was and he didn't know where he was goin'
as us all little lai, he was born on the train
