"Buy And Sell" lyrics
Cocaine and quiet beers
Sweet candy and caramel
Pass the time and dry the tears
On a street called buy and sell
Life turns like the endless sea
Death tolls like a vesper bell
Children laugh and lovers dream
On a street called buy and sell
Ladies dress calico style
Beware your heart
When they smile
And their men walk shamelessly
Aimlessly by
Cinders in the daylight
Junkyards in the sky
Buy and sell
Sell my goods to buy my roof
My bed, my bed
Two pennies will buy a rose
Three pennies and who can tell?
On a street that comes and goes
By the name of buy and sell
Buy and sell
Sell my goods to buy my roof
My bed
Sweet candy and caramel
Pass the time and dry the tears
On a street called buy and sell
Life turns like the endless sea
Death tolls like a vesper bell
Children laugh and lovers dream
On a street called buy and sell
Ladies dress calico style
Beware your heart
When they smile
And their men walk shamelessly
Aimlessly by
Cinders in the daylight
Junkyards in the sky
Buy and sell
Sell my goods to buy my roof
My bed, my bed
Two pennies will buy a rose
Three pennies and who can tell?
On a street that comes and goes
By the name of buy and sell
Buy and sell
Sell my goods to buy my roof
My bed
