Dancing For A Dime

No one gets too close If God won't bring you home then honey who will The haunting of this ghost and money room frills The sound of the bridges The taste of the dishes someone threw away The smell of the privilege that settles when you say Gotta be real careful with them Never know where all them bills will be spent It don't make no difference to them If they lose and you win Oh the cars driving by real slow If only a way to make an escape And stop biding all your time It's a fair price for a good life When you're dancing for a dime You work in the evening You sound European when they hear your name You're back in the kitchen on minimum wage You're speaking the language You're filling the boxes and playing their games They're holding you hostage on character traits Gotta be real careful with them Gotta know how all those bills will be spent It don't make no difference to them If we lose and they win Oh the land where the freedom's owned If only a way to make an escape And stop biding all your time It's a fair price for a good life When you're dancing for a dime
