  • I stick loneliness, your lips
    And the two coins of your eyes
    Into my pockets, yeah
    Well, the train skates into Port Henry
    Late Sunday (alright)

    Sometimes when I'm riding high
    Feeling fine
    You know there's something troubling you
    Troubling my mind

    So I reach into my pocket for some small change
    I reach into my pocket for some small change

    I want bones like iron, blood like mercury
    So I can tell you when I'm rising
    When I'm, sinking in
    (I'm sinking in)
    (I'm sinking in)
    I'm sinking in

    I reach into my pocket for some small change
    I reach into my pocket for some small change, yeah

    I'm gonna take it to the people
    Yeah
    We're gonna take it to the people
    Yeah
    We're gonna take it to the people
    Yeah
    We're gonna take it to the people
    Yeah

    Hey, let's drink from the cup and share some luck
    Go ahead and laugh, 'cause it don't cost much
    No, no, it don't, don't cost much

    I stick loneliness, your lips
    And the two coins of your eyes
    Into my pockets, yeah
    I stick loneliness, your lips
    And the two coins of your eyes
    Into my pockets, yeah Writer/s: Brad Corrigan, Pete Francis Heimbold
