lyrics

A penny for my thoughts
I’d throw you down the well
I’d wish for dollar signs
Not decimal points
Dot dot dot
Is that all you got?
A goddamn penny for my thoughts

Couldn’t get rid of you if I tried
You slide your way right back by my side
Bribe a trip into my pocket
Find my palm to cling to tight

You’re presidential look so proud
Your bronze beard can’t feed a mouth
The excess weight, I’d sooner drop it
I find your face all over town

A penny for my thoughts
I’d throw you down the well
I’d wish for dollar signs
Not decimal points
Dot dot dot
Is that all you got?
A goddamn penny for my thoughts

You take on more than you return
Covered in a world of germs
There has to be a way to stop it
You keep coming back like a curse

I break a five and you multiply
Clang you in the jar goodbye
Count your blessings, cut your losses
Let you go, leave you behind

A penny for my thoughts
I’d throw you down the well
I’d wish for dollar signs
Not decimal points
Dot dot dot
Is that all you got?
A goddamn penny for my thoughts
