Seven Bucks

Can’t sugar coat the rain that’s falling
He’s looking for a bed
Now seven bucks is all it’s gonna take
And he’s just a sale away
The outreach man has open hands
With more dues to pay
He’ll catch you eye while you be stealin' by
But you’ve got your bills to pay
Oh such fragile lives that we have
All divides in time do vanish
Oh such fragile lives that we have
All divides in time do vanish
Wednesday night he wears a smilin' charm
The new paper’s on its way
But who will see this subtle change of face
When you’re lost in day to day
Suits and ties can lend disguises
Though the rain hits all the same
The bank could own your bed in three weeks time
And it’s just a cheque away
Oh such fragile lives that we have
All divides in time do vanish
Oh such fragile lives that we have
All divides in time do vanish…
