Shiny Red Pennies

from Street Life by BANNISTER VOID

/

lyrics

1.
You're pickin' on pennies and pawns,
You tell me it's wrong, call me a liar
You're silently trying me out,
I feel like a mouse, you eat me alive
Too bad you're really sad too,
Too bad you, self sacrifice
You're glad I got the maddest eye
Like the maddest child, just how you like
all right all right. just how you like

CHORUS
Pick up those, shiny red pennies you found
perfectly good, perfectly round - but you put 'em down
Pick up those, shiny red pennies you found
perfectly good, perfectly round - but you put 'em down man

2.
Wasted in tasteless greyest dawn,
Goes on and on, outta my head
Your broken heart stake, arrived too late
Late for the grave, tore me to shreds
Your love never budges at all,
Feels like a wall, drives me insane
The world is burning down,
My girl she's learnin' how, I ain't gonna change
No way no way, ain't gonna change

CHORUS

Why'd ya do it man, said you're too good for them, but ain't that a sin
Why'd ya do it man, said you're too good for them... ain't that a sin

3.
Now aces are blown, I'm all alone
Out on the road, dead in the dust
Sailors are floatin' along,
hear 'em moan and groan, over the crust
Love light's fadin' away
And it's haunting my days, breakin' my will
Namelessly toil, foes unfoiled
Blood still boils, ready to spill. . . ready to kill

CHORUS
