Danny Schmidt - Serpentine Cycle Of Money lyrics

I turned over a stone today A stone I guess I'd never turned And there beneath the bones and clay A billion dollars brightly burned So I went and stuffed my pockets full But people grow as pockets do Fat and free the money flowed As silver shines, I got fat too Hey, hey . . . hey, hey . . Hey hey, hey-hey hey hey-hey . . A penny for your thoughts, my friend A dime and then a dollar too How ‘bout a gold medallion then? Your deepest thoughts should shine right through It's true you can't buy love, my dear But money sure can lavish love So wash the sheets in baby tears And paint the grapes with virgin's blood Hey, hey . . . hey, hey . . Hey hey, hey-hey hey hey-hey . . There was nothing I could dream to have Since dreams could not perform at prime ‘Til dreams became a lonely mistress Desire, a neglected wife So I went back to the stone again And I sat down on my gluttony And I begged the forest floor to fall Instead the forest rose to sing: Give it back . . . give it back . . Give it back . . . it all ain't all that . . So now I turn each stone I find And plant pennies like they're dreams or seeds And while hunger pulls the plow just fine Starvation, she's a butchered beast The school rooms glow like palace halls And parks, like terraced garden grounds And neighbors covet only calls And all the Earth is holy ground Give back . . . give back . . Give back . . . it's all for all that . . Give back . . . give back . . Give back . . . it's all for all that . . Give back . . . give back . . Give back . . . it's all for all and all and all And all and all and all and all . .
