A Fly in the Hand
I catch a fly in my handMy knuckles go whiteI wanted to flyIt didn't help me understandBut it sure felt good to holdHeavy change is what I needNo bag of silver with a smiling queenI got a spider in a box you seeSomeday I'll take a little sum for mefrom Rome to my very handSlipping through like each grain of sandI open letters to the sound of airBut, aw get away I don't want to shareLook for the silver there's a finders feeAnd there's an acre for every treeI wanna go share it aroundI drop a penny and I hear no soundI close the box, hide it awayLetras de cancionesAnd put a value on their currencyThat's ten to them for every one to meSwallow the key for another dayLook for the silver there's a finders feeAnd there's an acre for every treeI wanna go share it aroundI drop a penny and I hear no soundIts through the nose, this shit is trueMy favourite letters, I.O.UI cut some feathers with some amber beadsI got an empty bag of some whales teethShow me the blood to pacifyIts what makes mothers leave to babies cryI wanna go share all aroundI change the time for every pound of pounds
