Buy And Sell Songtext
Cocaine and quiet beers

sweet candy and caramel

pass the time and dry the tears

on a street called buy and sell


Life turns like the endless sea

death tolls like a vesper bell

children laugh and lovers dream

on a street called buy and sell



Ladies dress calico-style

beware your heart

when they smile

and their men walk shamelessly

aimlessly by
cinders in the daylight

junkyards in the sky



buy and sell

sell my goods to buy my roof

my bed

Two pennies will buy a rose

three pennies and who can tell?

on a street

that comes and goes

by the name of buy and sell



Sell my good to buy my roof

my bed
