It Pays to be Broke - Live
Got on the train, got on the train
Got on my last lifeline today
Had a bottle of good to sanctify my brain
Cuz I didn't have the time or space
Got on the horse, got on the horse
Had a saddle made of metal and fabric
It held me fast, held me fast for a moment or two
A moment or two well
You found me in a rough spot I guess
I found a light
In my own eyes
It said I was fine
With living this lie
Well I saw your face
Crinkle in disgrace
At my own failures
At my own place
Well, just one time
I'll just ask for some money to get by
Just a quarter or two, just a quarter for my birthday
I said it's my birthday, please
I don't see your face, just see your hands
As they reach in your pocket for a coin or two
It makes me feel fine, for that moment or two
A moment or two well
You found me in a rough spot I guess
I found a sign
In my own eyes
It said I was fine
Fine enough to die
Well the point of living
Is to hurt out all this pain
And the pain that won't subside
Is the pain that is fine
I said the pain that won't subside
Is the pain that is fine
Got on my last lifeline today
Had a bottle of good to sanctify my brain
Cuz I didn't have the time or space
Got on the horse, got on the horse
Had a saddle made of metal and fabric
It held me fast, held me fast for a moment or two
A moment or two well
You found me in a rough spot I guess
I found a light
In my own eyes
It said I was fine
With living this lie
Well I saw your face
Crinkle in disgrace
At my own failures
At my own place
Well, just one time
I'll just ask for some money to get by
Just a quarter or two, just a quarter for my birthday
I said it's my birthday, please
I don't see your face, just see your hands
As they reach in your pocket for a coin or two
It makes me feel fine, for that moment or two
A moment or two well
You found me in a rough spot I guess
I found a sign
In my own eyes
It said I was fine
Fine enough to die
Well the point of living
Is to hurt out all this pain
And the pain that won't subside
Is the pain that is fine
I said the pain that won't subside
Is the pain that is fine
