I been caught stealin’…oh
A sudden hand into an open coat
As far as our evening goes
I’ll be late
You go on alone
Everybody knows it take a whole lot a penny
To put some turn on that dime
Everybody’s guessing at the message in the markets
I’m just trying to keep some of mine… oh oh
I been caught cheating…oh
A sharpened card to a broken nose
That’s not really healing…no
I look a mess
And I look alone
Everybody knows it take a whole lot a penny
To put some turn on that dime
Everybody’s guessing at the message in the markets
I’m just trying to keep me some of mine…oh oh
It turns out standing still is really losing ground
I can’t afford to grin
I can’t afford to frown
I’m freezing in the morning
And I sneeze in the sunlight
I can’t afford to love
I can’t afford to fight
I been caught thinking…oh
A furrowed brow, mustn’t look too close
The buzz of my schemings…grows
It’s all around
And it’s all I know
Everybody knows it take a whole lot a penny
To put some turn on that dime
Everybody’s messing with the guessing in the markets
I’m just trying to keep some of mine…oh oh
It turns out standing still is really losing ground
I can’t afford to grin
I can’t afford to frown
I’m freezing in the morning
And I sneeze in the sunlight
I can’t afford to love
I can’t afford to fight
It turns out standing still is really losing ground
I can’t afford to swim
I can’t afford to drown
I’m screaming in the morning
And I freeze in the sunlight
I can’t afford the wrong
I can’t afford the right
It turns out standing still is really giving ground
I can’t afford to grin
I can’t afford to frown
I’m freezing in the morning
And I sneeze in the sunlight
I can’t afford to love
I can’t afford to fight
