"Coin" lyrics
"Coin"
I gave a coin to a shaman
He showed me a vision so bright
I was so glad to have seen it all
But I awoke with a fright
So I gave a coin to a scientist
Who showed me which number I was
Told me the order of things to come
But I forgot what it was
So I gave a coin to a president
He sent me to fight in his war
I still don't know who won, who lost
I still don't know what it was for
Just lock all the doors
And get down on the floor
They'll be coming for more
Always coming for more
So I gave my next coin to a baby
He took it to put in his mouth
Swallowed it whole, then started to crawl
I knew he wouldn't remember me at all
When he grew up
And took a look at the world
When he grew up
And had nothing to hold
When he grew up
And saw it's my fault
So I took my last coin and I gave it to you
You smiled and said, "Oh, you shouldn't have"
But your eyes spoke louder than your mouth
Your eyes said thank you, your eyes said love
Love is enough
Of a reason to stay
Love is enough
Of a reason to stay
Love is enough

Sara Bareilles - "Love Song" Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me
It's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold...
Fiona Apple - "Fast As You Can" I let the beast in too soon
I don't know how to live without my hand on his throat
I fight him always and still
Oh darling, it's so sweet
You think you know how crazy
How crazy I am
You say you don't...
Feist - "1234" One, two, three, four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless long nights
That is what my youth was for
Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing but they want some more
Oh,...
St. Vincent - "New York" New York isn't New York without you, love
So far in a few blocks to be so low
And if I call you from First Avenue
Where you're the only motherfucker in the city who can handle me
New love wasn't...
