Lyrics
The Bank
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.
Whatever it is spit it into a bottle and sell it to me
I'm looking to buy freedom from my sobriety
Just like Huey Lewis
I need a new drug
I need a new drink
I need a new drug that does what it should
So take me to the bank
Take me to the bar
Can you take me to the hot spot?
This is what we worked so hard to afford but...
Take me to the bank
Can you take me to the bar?
Can you take me to the hot spot?
This is what we worked so hard to afford but how I wanna hide
The next time you visit me here
How about coming out to my place
We can sit on the floor and play my brother's records
We can sit on the grownup bed
Couple with the coin
Lighting up to join the coping crowd
My big brother said to stay unsatisfied
Never work a day to pay off your desire
Couple with the coin
Lighting up to join the coping crowd
