Regina Spektor - Lucky Penny lyrics

I didn't find The lucky penny So I flipped it Over And left it for Someone else to find And a dime Just in time For the little kid behind me To pick it up and yell: Hey, Mom, I found a dime Then I turned around the corner And I dropped another dollar Just in case the street needed some more cash In the end I made it home With nothing in my pockets Except some cigarettes And Some stones I pick 'em up When I go walking Some are shiny All are dirty Some are just pebbles that might grow up to be stones As an adult No one can stop you From getting your hands dirty When you're walking home alone Then I saw a little black cat Cross the street before a fast cab Flashed and disappeared into the night He glanced back with understanding Of a future life impending And we both knew it wasn't his time yet I didn't find the lucky penny So I flipped it over And left it for someone else to find And a dime Just in time For the little kid behind me To pick it up and yell: Hey, Mom, I found a dime And a dime just in time For the little kid behind me To pick it up and yell Hey, Mom, I found a dime To pick it up and yell Hey, Mom, I found a dime
