The One Dollar Thought

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 colourful 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 colours of

presidents and scientists

you say you wanna be

a one dollar bill

when you've seased 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
