A Penny for the Band
Another Shirley Temple,Another Caine and Able,There's nothing out the window,And nothing on the table.This life is like a sad list Strong across the Nation,If I miss you at the soundcheck,I'll see you at the station.There's a beast inside of me,And he's not bad companyBut he speaks in tongues I can never understand,He says it's one more show and a penny for the band.Keep everybody dancing,Keep everybody spending,I know I am not a good man,But I can keep pretending.I made it in a doorway,Your dress is like a dark vale,But I'm not going your way,I'm going back to heartache.With a bottle of Burgundy,SongtexteWhere she waits on the balcony,With a northern wish and a daisy in her hand,To send me all her love and a penny for the band.There's a beast inside of me,And I miss my family,All these pages and these stages made of sand,Still, it's one more show and a penny for the band,One more show and a penny for the band.
