Lyrics
Pre-Present
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.
The present in your lap has already been unwrapped
Already given and already used, many times before you
And so it goes
That knowing where it's been makes you worry that within
It's been tampered with, has it gone bad?
Open it and see
Maybe it's filled to the brim with magic pennies!
Each time the present is received there are more!
And they will roll all over the floor and past your feet
And give themselves away out on the street to everyone they meet!
Grab the pennies off the floor
Take the pennies to a store
Buy everything you could afford
And don't tell anyone
