Joni Mitchell - Love or Money слова песни
The firmament of tinsel townIs strung with tungsten starsLots of forty watt successesHe says wheres my own shining hourHes the well kept secret of the undergroundHes in debt to the company storeBecause his only channelled aspirationWas getting back that girl he had beforeHes got stacks and stacks of words that rhymeDescribing what it is to loseHes got some just for laughsHes got some for loveThat mainline to his bluesSome to shed a little light on you and on meSome to shed a little light on the human storyThe wars of pride and propertyThe rebel irish and the promised land jewFighting behind his eyes and over seasWounded in action and no ceasefire in viewBrave reporters bring the battles homeBut tonight inside that boxJust more bang bang ketchup color to himJust more twentieth century foxAll because that ghostly girl comes hauntingJust out of reach-outside his bedAnd she kicks the covers off his sleepFor the clumsy things he saidShe commands his head-she tries his sanityShe demands his head-tonight unknowinglyVaguely she floats and lacelikeBlown in like a curtain on the night windShes nebulous and nakedHe wonders where shes beenHe grabs at the air because theres nothing thereHer evasiveness stings himWith long legs-long lonely legsBruised from banging into thingsOne day he was standing just outside her doorHe was carrying an armload of bright balloonsShe just laughedShe said she heard him knockingAnd she teased him for the moon"is one the moon, dear clown,Tied to a string for me? "He tried but he could not get it downFor truth or for mysteryHe tried but he could not get it downFor love or money
