[Verse 1]
The cash machine is blue and green
For a bundle of twenties
And a small service fee
I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents
On Diet Coca-Cola
And unlit cigarettes
I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck
How hot and sorrowful
The machine begs for luck
[Hook]
All my lies are always wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new
[Verse 2]
I want a good life with a nose for things
Fresh wind and bright sky to endure my suffering
I'm a hole without a key if I break my tongue
Oh, speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I'm down on my hands and knees
Every time I hear a doorbell ring
I shake like a toothache
Every time I hear myself sing
[Hook]
[Outro]
I would like to salute
The ashes of American flags
And all the fallen leaves
Filling up shopping bags
The cash machine is blue and green
For a bundle of twenties
And a small service fee
I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents
On Diet Coca-Cola
And unlit cigarettes
I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck
How hot and sorrowful
The machine begs for luck
[Hook]
All my lies are always wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new
[Verse 2]
I want a good life with a nose for things
Fresh wind and bright sky to endure my suffering
I'm a hole without a key if I break my tongue
Oh, speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I'm down on my hands and knees
Every time I hear a doorbell ring
I shake like a toothache
Every time I hear myself sing
[Hook]
[Outro]
I would like to salute
The ashes of American flags
And all the fallen leaves
Filling up shopping bags
