Two Thousand Pennies

TWO THOUSAND PENNIES

The lunatics of summer singing silly tunes
With nobody to impress or please
They mostly tell the truth
I got two thousand pennies
To take you into town
Heaven knows as the warm wind blows
There's enough to go around

Fire in the mountain return us to dust
When everybody wants somethin' who's to trust?
Sidewalk of diamonds, my pockets full of rust
How is heaven gonna repay what this life takes from us?

The boss man is a raven with beady eyes of black
He wants all of us to pull the weight while ridin' on our backs
A dead-man's smile upon me
Peaceful as I lay
Everybody wantin' more
I got nothin' to send your way

Fire in the mountain return us to dust
When everybody wants somethin' who's to trust?
Sidewalk of diamonds, my pockets full of rust
How is heaven gonna repay what this life takes from us?

Darling there's a darkness back behind our eyes
And our skeletons are dancin' for the greedy enterprise
Punch the clock as twilight overtakes the day
All the turnstiles are windmills
Just for you the city waits

Fire in the mountain return us to dust
When everybody wants somethin' who's to trust?
Sidewalk of diamonds, my pockets full of rust
Girl I got two thousand pennies tonight to spend on us
Said I got two thousand pennies tonight to spend on us
