10000 Maniacs - Dust Bowl Şarkı Sözleri
10000 Maniacs
| Şarkı Sözleri
[music: robert buck/words: natalie merchant]
i should know to leave them home. they follow me through the store with these toys i can´t afford. "kids, take them back, you know better than that." dolls that talk, astronauts, t.v. games, airplanes, they don´t understand and how can i explain? i try and try but i can´t save. pennies, nickels, dollars slip away. i´ve tried and tried but i can´t save.
my youngest girl has bad fever, sure. all night with alcohol to cool and rub her down. ruby, i´m tired, try and get some sleep. i´m adding doctor´s fees to remedies with the cost of three day´s work lost. i try and try but i can´t save. pennies, nickels, dollars slip away. i´ve tried and tried but i can´t save. the hole in my pocketbook is growing.
there´s a new wind blowing they say, it´s gonna be a cold, cold one. so brace yourselves my darlings, it won´t bring anything much our way but more dust bowl days.
i played a card in this weeks game. took the first and the last letters in three of their names. this lottery´s been building up for weeks. i could be lucky me with the five million prize, tears of disbelief spilling out of my eyes. i try and try but i can´t save. pennies, nickels, dollars slip away. i´ve tried and tried but i can´t save. the hole in my pocketbook is growing.
there´s a new wind blowing they say, it´s gonna be a cold, cold one. so brace yourselves my darlings, it won´t bring anything much our way but more dust bowl days.
