THE JEWELLER

As I arrive in my neighbourhood

People survive in my neck of the woods

Barely scrape by, but I wish I could

See passerby’s, wonder if I should

Put out my hands

What you got to give?

Upping the rate

While the sun dissipates

Two times the gold

What a beautiful day

Put out my hands

What you got to give?

Smile while they stare

So fair, you gave it all away

I didn’t need it

(I just wanted to know ya)

No where, eyes are running red

For no better reason

(I just wanted to know)

The jewellers invited himself again

He lives at the institute over the fence

Thinner than paper

He can’t take a breath

He should be sleeping

He’s smoking instead

Put out my hands

Smile while they stare

So fair, you gave it all away

I didn’t need it

(I just wanted to know ya)

No where, eyes are running red

For no better reason

(I just wanted to know)

Cos the jeweller shows

Where we’re meant to go

How were we to know

Cos the jeweller shows

Where we’re meant to go

How were we to know

I just wanted to know ya
