lyrics

Dirty fingernails
Finger dollar bills
Build your red hotels
If you don’t somebody will

Thrusting out your chin
But it still looks weak
And your silver spoon rattles
In your mouth when you speak

And you don’t know
What it’s like to wonder
If the currents at your feet
Could drag you under

You make them seek, but you don’t hide
Because you need to be admired
Every crumb you cast behind you
Is another way to find you
And when they come, torches in hand
You might finally understand
By the teeth marks on your glove
They do not owe you their love

Dirty fingernails
Skimming from the top
Choking on your teeth
When the camera’s off

A self-made boy
With a Tonka truck
Knocking down the walls
So the stocks shoot up

And you don’t know
What it’s like to wonder
If the currents at your feet
Could drag you under

You make them seek, but you don’t hide
Because you need to be admired
Every crumb you cast behind you
Is another way to find you
And when they come, torches in hand
You might finally understand
By the teethmarks on your glove
They do not owe you their love
We do not owe you our love
