Lyrics
For A Dollar
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Moved to the city to settle a vendetta
Ran from Estella to the hands of Isabella
Was a good earner, got a little butter
Moved to Calcutta got rich by the summer
Learned an eye for an eye made the whole world blind
City by city, they’ve built Sin City
Mr. Benjamin and Mr. Gandhi needs a shilling
‘Cause he’d rather not walk into cops from the prison
And there ain’t nowhere
This lonely road
This lonely road
Won’t go
What pleases your heart
Is not always what
Eases your spirit or your soul
For a dollar will you hear she?
For a dollar will you feel he?
For a dollar would you mind explaining to me why
Today got bought by tomorrow
For a dollar will you hold me?
For a dollar will you love me?
For a dollar would you mind explaining to me why
Today got bought by tomorrow
For a dollar
For a dollar
For a dollar
For a dollar
