Lyrics
Small Bill$
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.
His destiny was just too big to spend
So he broke it into smaller bills and change
By the time he'd try to buy the things he needed
He had spent it all on loosies and weed and
He had spent it all on chips and Coca-Cola
He had spent it all on chocolate and vanilla
He had spent it all and didn't even feel it
He had spent it all and didn't even feel it
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
All the poets in the alley coughing up blood
And their visions and their dreams are coming up red
They can neither wake up or go deeper
But it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper
It's like awakening a bear in winter
To feel the reckoning of hunger sprinter
He's gonna stretch his claws and feel his power
And you are gonna know your final hour
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Better get a head start, start running
While you were skimming from the top was sunny
But all the weather 'bout to turn real crummy
Cause everybody gonna want their money
Yeah, everybody gonna want their money
Better get a head start, start running
Better get a head start, start running
Cause it's about to get so unfunny
All the poets in the alley coughing up blood
And their visions and their dreams are coming up red
They can neither wake up or go deeper
But it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
