lyrics

I tied my shoes with spraypaint loops
But the knots kept on coming loose.
The crossing guard was smoking on the stoop
Burning at the evening news.
"I'm not young, there's no fountain of youth"
Heart beating hard in her florescent suit.
I dragged those breathy blues across the avenue.

Where a drug store horse will never quit shaking
As long as I'm there jamming quarters in
Raining change until it shakes the paint from your skin
Or I have nothing left to give.

The cash machine said "Drinks on me"
Just meet me at the candy coated trees
This city's killing me with courtesy
"Empty out that vault, would you for me please?"
Your soul burned a hole right through my jeans
I shouldn't take it so seriously.
But everyone on the train
Could use a little change.
