For Your Money

Album: Love and War (2009)

  • New York, she sits and cries
    She's had her moment of glory
    Stands up, then she took the dive
    From the sixty first story

    Now I don't know how it evens out
    Once I saw the love was never in her eyes
    But she goes on, on, she goes on
    She goes on

    New York, now that I've arrived
    It's like a joke that ain't funny
    It ain't how you spend your time
    It's what you get for your money

    But I don't know how I say a lie
    I'm infatuated with the human mind, yeah
    Well, I go on and on, on and on
    And I go on, yeah

    But I don't know how we will survive
    Does it feel as if we we're runnin' out of time?
    When we go on and on, on and on
    We'll go on and on, on and on
    We go on and on, on and on
    Like I said, I go on and

    Go on, on
    When we go on, on
    When we go on, on
    When we go on, on
    When we go on, on

    And we go on, on
    And we go on, on
    And we go on

    When we go on and on
    When we go on
    And when we go on and on, on, on
    When we go on and

    When we go on and on, on, on
    And when we go on and on and on
    When we go, go on
    When we go on and on and on, on, on
    When we go on and on Writer/s: ANDREW WYATT BLAKEMORE, DANIEL MERRIWEATHER
