One Cent Coins

Gonna rally me up some one cent coins
scrounge two dollar bills
Lay 'em into your pillow case
and keep them there until
you number up two hundred
or maybe twenty more
and blow it all on a big old night
of champagne sugar and more
Got a problem with concentration
my brain just wont sit still
but I could look at you for hours girl
like a sniper on a hill
and like a bull in a china shop
wont stop til its my turn to dust
when I fall down hard
from the laugh in my heart
and leave myself to rust
I woke up quick, didn’t know nothing at all
Somebody left a scribbled note under my door
When I first saw you and all the lights shot out
And there was no romance in the down and out
Read books for the pictures now
And I don’t want to hang round
Just don’t wanna look flash no more
just want somewhere to lay down
So I hand up all my notes and cards
and all my aches and stains
You can drag me round like an old boyfriend
just take your make up off your face
I woke up quick, didn’t know nothing at all
Somebody left a scribbled note under my door
When I first saw you and all the shot shot out
And there was no romance in the down and out
Gonna rally me up some one cent coins
scrounge two dollar bills
Lay them into your pillow case
and keep them there until
you number up two hundred
or maybe 208
and blow it all on a big old night
just take your make up off your face
Oh c’mon just take the black shit off your face
