Broken Bells - The Ghost Inside lyrics
[Broken Bells - The Ghost Inside lyrics]
She sold her love to a modern man
Good solid currency’s the hardest to land
All of that money helps you cover your ass
Don't let the ladyfinger blow in your hands
Did it all, for that dollar
She's a star tonight without warning
She gave up the ghost inside
Just like a whiskey bottle
Drained on the floor
She got no future, just a life to endure
This good samaritan is shaking her hand
Too late to leave here now
The songs in the can
Give it up, for that dollar
She's a star tonight without warning
She gave up the ghost inside
You call it chivalry
Never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder why they had to move on
This phony honor code
That put you on your throne
A double-standard you invoke when you want
For that dollar she's a star tonight
Without warning she gave up the ghost inside
Was it all for show?
Don't turn into one of them
Turning another page trust me darling
I'm carving a moat through the
Dust in your town crawling over the rubble
Just to serve you tend to wonder why
Good solid currency’s the hardest to land
All of that money helps you cover your ass
Don't let the ladyfinger blow in your hands
Did it all, for that dollar
She's a star tonight without warning
She gave up the ghost inside
Just like a whiskey bottle
Drained on the floor
She got no future, just a life to endure
This good samaritan is shaking her hand
Too late to leave here now
The songs in the can
Give it up, for that dollar
She's a star tonight without warning
She gave up the ghost inside
You call it chivalry
Never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder why they had to move on
This phony honor code
That put you on your throne
A double-standard you invoke when you want
For that dollar she's a star tonight
Without warning she gave up the ghost inside
Was it all for show?
Don't turn into one of them
Turning another page trust me darling
I'm carving a moat through the
Dust in your town crawling over the rubble
Just to serve you tend to wonder why
