CAKE - Dime lyrics

In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
When a crumpled up pair of trousers
Lost a brand new dime
Well you ask me how I made it through and
How my mint condition could belong to you
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
I'm a president you don't
Remember getting kicked around

I'm a dime, I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I am determined not to be dented
By a car or by a plane
Or anything not yet invented

I'm a dime, I'm fine and I shine

In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
As the afternoon commuters drive
Their cars around
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
There's a sparkle near the fast
Food garbage and roadside trash

I'm a dime, I'm fine
And I shine I'm freshly minted
I'm silver-plated, I'm underrated
You won't even pick me up because I'm
Not enough for a local phone call

I'm a dime, I'm fine and I shine
I'm a dime, I'm fine and I shine
I'm a dime, I'm fine and I shine
