Ninety Bucks
She said Nathan I need ninety bucks Puts Popov in a paper cup It’s like she’s trying to burn her insides clean She shimmers like some gasoline All smoke and shaky hands Shuts the shades and hits me with her plan Go back and get certified X-ray tech and MRIs Stick with it and finally see it through I’m sick of all this wilderness The businessmen on business trips The distance goes beyond the rate and time But school don’t start until early Fall I went ahead and made a call Sometimes I can push ahead Some nights the wheels just spin Nathan, you’re my only friend Well, Caesar is in a car right now He says isn’t far right now If I’m short when he shows up he’ll be so pissed Because credit is something he don’t do Cash is king and three for two Letras de cancionesI’ve seen him use his hands to make a fist I know that I’ve been in and out Connections they get frayed and fraught Clouded with a million little lies The medication sometimes works The drinking probably doesn’t help The shepherd should still love the lambs he’s lost Because the flock can wander from his eyes The hills are huge the valley is wide The traffic on the 405 The way those wheels just spin Nathan, you’re my only friend So thank you for the ninety bucks Get your coat Give me a hug Now it’s probably time for you to leave Go back to your little house Your driveway and your pull-out couch And come back at the same time in a week The lamb can wander from the flock In shopping malls and parking lots Sometimes the shepherd brings him back Some nights the wheels just spin Nathan, you’re my only friend From Letras Mania
