Road To Ruin
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.
How can we (how can we)
Make you understand (make you understand)
All you can be (all you can be)
Is givin' in your hand (is givin in your hand)
You won't even need (you won't even need)
Trust in me (Trust in me)
Take me by the hand (take me by the hand)
Oh give us a chip (oh give us a chip)
Dreams are strewn acroos the sand (dreams are strewn acroos the sand)
You won't need money (you won't need money)
Well all the bent-back peddlars, the jungglers & fools
They drive me crazy, I'm climbing the walls
So show me the way, the way to my stool
'Cause I'm so sick, so sick of it all
And when the penny drops...
Trust in me (Trust in me)
Take me by the hand (take me by the hand)
Oh don't cash in your chip (don't cash in your chip)
(just yet)
Dreams are strewn acroos the sand (dreams are strewn acroos the sand)
You won't need, you won't need (you won't need money)
oh no
Well all the bent-back peddlars, the jungglers & fools
They drive me crazy, It's no good at all
So show me the way, the way to the stool
'Cause I'm so sick, so sick of it all
The penny drops...
