Loose Change

(专辑： Clear To Venus - 2001)

I'd give you all of me to know what you were thinking
And if I had one wish I'd wish I wasn't sinking here
Drowning in this well, oh can't you tell?

I can't pick myself up off the ground
Well I've been face down and pushed aside
Well you know I'd rather just turn tail and run
Than lie here in the sun and watch you pass me by
'Cause I ain't worth a dime
(Yeah yeah, oh yeah) Yeah, yeah (yeah yeah)

But if only I could stand up straight, I wouldn't have to lie and wait
I could up and roll away, never be ignored
I've got a feeling that I'm something more
Than just a piece of copper ore, turning green and looking for
The reason I was born

I've been around since 1964, in banks and bottom drawers
And on railroad ties. I've been passed around and cast aside
Skipped and flipped and flattened wide, spun around
And thrown away and left alone to lie

But if only I could stand up straight, I wouldn't have to lie and wait
I could up and roll away, never be ignored
I've got a feeling that I'm something more
Than just a piece of copper ore, turning green and looking for
The reason I was born

(Yeah yeah, oh yeah) Yeah, yeah (yeah yeah) na na na na na

But I heard about a penny found, lying underneath the couch
By a woman who was kneeling down, looking for some change
Then the woman danced around and called her friends all over town
Told them what was lost is found, it's another penny saved
And so I find that all this time beneath the surface I could shine
Like all the gold a king and queen could measure
You see even a penny is a treasure

(Yeah yeah, oh yeah) Yeah, yeah (yeah yeah) na na na na na
