Money in the Meter

Don't make me count backwards
Or walk a straight line
Here's not the place and now's not the time
Parked cars frame the strip
Rollin' off the film's edge
The moon's out of focus and I'm off my meds

Arguments and accusations spill out over the lot
Reckonings and retributions
Is that all you've got?

Put some money in the meter
Compensate and reconcile
Put more money in the meter
We'll be stayin' for a while

Don't make me crawl forward
Or talk a straight line
Here is the place and now is the time
Cold songs fill the air from a summer flat tire
The stars are for sale and I found a buyer

Arguments and accusations
Gather under the light
Reckonings and retributions
Take a wrong and make it right

Put some money in the meter
Compensate and reconcile
Put more money in the meter
We'll be stayin' for a while

Arguments and accusations
Rise above power lines
Reckonings and retributions
Find your high road, I'll find mine

Put some money in the meter
Compensate and reconcile
Put more money in the meter
We'll be stayin' for a while

Put some money in the meter
Compensate and reconcile
Put your money in the meter
We'll be stayin' for a while
