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 comin' for more
Always comin' 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 nothin' 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
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 comin' for more
Always comin' 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 nothin' 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
