oh they're counting their pennies and wiling away time under their shoes and all the quiet hours i've remembered with you keeping away oh i know i was a younger man my mind behind my eyes oh i know i'll figure it out call it the seasons calling for you and all the quiet hours i've remembered and kept to give to you oh i know i was a younger man my mind behind my eyes oh i know i was younger man my eyes looking to light so softly old me will say softly "merry christmas"

anytime is right to trip thru ladder rungs and halls this time at night slips like dragonballs in river mouths but this time (ha ha) sounds like laughter to me and i beat the word around we all feel like we gotta a list that rules our lives sound it out it sounds like saturdays

Billions 03:55
no no no no your boat's an illusion nothing you want could improve them nothing you own nothing now go go go go away from the numbers that keep you in rent keep you under the weight of the crowd a race for the times out at the dump feeling tired and nothing you and me found could we admire well i mostly keep it a secret you owe me capable love and I know me (I) follow the dimes with my eyes and oh me don't take my hand I control me knowing that under is only a song and a raise for your life roll roll roll roll away from the hunger that keeps you in bed keeps you under the gray of the clouds and soul soul soul by the bowlful I love her but something I did makes me wonder if she's underground
