How can you have everything and nothing to lose? You and nobody see eye to eye You're gonna wake up with a ghost instead of a guy Bulletin board on the wall of a church Soaking up the city from a top-step perch You're gonna break down on a midnight date You're gonna curse this town, you're gonna run late You're pretty as a penny Rollerskate skinny You're pretty as a penny Rollerskate skinny Do you want to meet up at the Pickwood Bowl? We could knock nine down and leave one in the hole Wouldn't be here if the Athenia hadn't sunk Or if dear 'ol dad hadn't got so drunk Every other day is a kick in the shin Every other day it's like the day just went But you make it alright, you make it okay You make me sorta glad that I waited till today You're pretty as a penny Rollerskate skinny You're pretty as a penny Rollerskate skinny Rollerskate skinny and the terrible two's Two years in and it's time to choose Love feels good when it sits right down Puts its feet up on the table it and sends a bowl around Ain't nobody gonna see eye to eye With a girl who's only gonna stand collarbone high Rain's gonna come in fair-sized drips We're gonna go to heaven wearing paper-hat ships You're pretty as a penny Rollerskate skinny You're pretty as a penny Rollerskate skinny I believe in love but it don't believe in I believe in love but it don't believe in me I believe in love but it don't believe in me No it don't believe in Don't believe in How can you have everything and nothing to lose? You and nobody see eye to eye
