Jens Lekman - The One Dollar Thought lyrics

You wake up so early Fresh snow on the window Two feet meet the cold floor To pick up the rainbow Of yesterdays commercials and mail A bright and colorful tail As silent as santa You reach out your antenna To paint my mood And I will work for food But I would die For your love You say you'll give me A dollar to know What I'm thinking of You show me your currencies Euros and dollars Your eyes like a baby's Reflecting the colors of Presidents and scientists You say you wanna be A one dollar bill When you've ceased to exist And if that is the value Of something invaluable Then maybe I can afford Your love I stood on your balcony And watched the sea You deserve someone better Than a bum like me So I cracked a one dollar thought You say "honey, that's a lot" Well duh, it's the value Of something invaluable And I will never afford your love
