Testo Cheap Pearls 5:05 - Love and Money
Testo della canzone Cheap Pearls 5:05 (Love and Money), tratta dall'album Dogs in Traffic
Stella found a handsome stranger
with a smile like a runaway train Said, "
I knew the day I saw his face, I'd never be happy again." Never be happy again
He said, "
We two are rainbirds,
tonight we shall take flight." He held her like a waif Broke into her safe And robbed her in the middle of the night
But there's no bigger burglar than time
As you reach for the stars in your eyes You become the very thing you despise As you reach for the stars in your eyes You become.
Jimmy used to be a shoestring,
now he's on everybody's case A peppermint disguise for the whiskey But the lie, is written all over his face She sang like a fallen angel,
the queen of the Dog and the Lush He tucked his tip Deep into her slip To subsidise the hush But she cost Jimmy too much
As you reach for the stars in your eyes You become the very thing you despise As you reach for the stars in your eyes You become.
You are tried for what you steal You are judged by your Achilles heel Got the goods but you can't deliver Got to try.
To cut yourself a sliver
He said, "
I must've killed a hundred Germans, But they left a piece of shell in my brain." His friends call Dan, 'The Wino Weatherman' He can tell you when it's going to rain
He was the victim of a promise,
but the sweet boy never showed up He got picked up by another truck Under the moon of love
As you reach for the stars in your eyes You become the very thing you despise As you reach for the stars in your eyes You become.
