The One Dollar ThoughtYou wake up so earlyFresh snow on the window Two feet meet the cold floor To pick up the rainbow Of yesterdays commercials and mail A bright and colorful tail As silent as santa You reach out your antenna To paint my mood And I will work for food But I would die For your love You say you'll give me A dollar to know What I'm thinking of You show me your currencies Euros and dollars Your eyes like a baby's Reflecting the colors of Presidents and scientists You say you wanna be A one dollar bill When you've ceased to exist And if that is the value Of something invaluable Then maybe I can afford Your love I stood on your balcony And watched the sea You deserve someone better Than a bum like me So I cracked a one dollar thought You say "honey, that's a lot" Well duh, it's the value Of something invaluable And I will never afford your love |
