Instant Cash and Diamonds

I’m going down I go

Digging a gambling hole

My friend is drunk as hell

His fillings filled with gold

I cash my breakfast in

I throw my car keys down

I’m running out of state

Looking around I see it

Blinking on a neon sign outside my window, baby

Instant cash and diamonds

Instant cash and diamonds

Instant cash and diamonds

Here we go

I’m going down I am

My brains are full of bread

My friend is passed out cold

I left him in the red

I keep my devils warm

I keep my angels high

I keep my eyes on the bright horizon

And it’s blinking on a neon sign outside my window, baby

Instant cash and diamonds

Instant cash and diamonds

Instant cash and diamonds

Here we go

Goddamn I like my money cheap

Let me hear you say yeah if you're with me

My latest venture blowin' up into space

My dreams are climbing the steeple of a steeple chase

The cards I’m holding can’t help but fall in place

I pawn my children’s toys

I couldn’t stand the noise

The batteries were dead

I didn’t have a choice

I keep my omens good

I keep my ears to the wall

My hotel window always faces the strip

And there it’s blinking on a neon sign

Instant cash and diamonds

Instant cash and diamonds

Instant cash and diamonds

Here we go

Gentleman caller

Well I’m just a gentleman caller

but I’m in love with the lady for sure

And she’s in love with me

You ask me how I know and I say fellas sometimes you’ve just do

Like the last time and like the time before it

And my hearts been livin’ in squalor

But you can help me move out of this place

And this place looks good

I’m bringing nothing but kindness for ya

when I come from walking out of the woods

Like the last time and like the time before it

Just like last time and all the other times that I did

When I put up that fence and chased away the rabbits

And I pulled up the potatoes and pulled up all the carrots

And I cleaned up from the dinner and put the water on for tea

Don’t make me go back into the town and do ugly

Well I’m just a gentleman caller

But I’m in love with the woman it’s true

And she’s in love with me

You ask me how I know and I says fellas sometimes you just do

Oceans

Music available soon:

Oceans are known to lonesome and wide

Don’t make me cross one babe

Just to reach you tonight

I know a valley

It’s deep and it’s low

Don’t make me walk down there, babe

Just to get to your door

Don’t make me walk there

Just to stand at your door

What is love if not ancient?

What am I if not patient?

What is life without no dice to roll

I know a mountain

It’s steep and it’s high

Don’t make me climb it

Just to say it’s say it’s all right

Just to say that it all be all right

And the waves will roll between the great channels

Between the great channel they’ll roll you to sleep
