Broke |
Jingle, jangle, pocketful of metal |
Johnny’s in the basement, hooking up the kettle |
Thinking to himself, «I guess I gotta settle for less» |
He’s a mess |
Jenny, Jenny, a plastic bag of pennies |
Roll ‘em in brown paper, turn ‘em into twenty |
Walking to the bank, she’s knocking, «Is there anybody here? |
Have I made myself clear?» |
I’m broke, I know I’m broke |
But I’m not broken |
Charlene, Charlene, everybody’s darling |
High on something heavy, she’s flying like a starling |
Coming down the stairs, she’s tripping through a chemistry class |
Life’s a blast |
Billy’s down from Sydney and, damn, he’s looking handsome |
Stumbling down Portland, holding it for ransom |
If you got a loonie, he’ll tell you the dirtiest joke |
«Hey man, can I bum a smoke?» |
I’m broke, I know I’m broke |
But I’m not broken |
You never see the wound, you only see the scar |
Were we landing on the moon or standing at the bar? |
It’s four in the morning, I don’t know where I am or who you are |
Last chance landlord, renting out a closet |
Picking up the weekly, making the deposit |
Walking from the bank while we’re headed for the National Exchange |
This world is strange |
I’m broke, I know I’m broke |
But I’m not broken |
