Lyrics
[Verse 1]
An artificial season
Covered by summer rain
Losin' all my reason
Because there's nothin' left to blame
[Verse 2]
Shadows paint the sidewalk
A livin' picture in a frame
See the sea of people
All their faces look the same
[Verse 3]
So I sat down for a while
Forcin' a smile
In a state of self-denial
Is it worthwhile
[Verse 4]
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, just one dime
[Verse 5]
Plain talk can be the easy way
Signs of losin' my faith, losin' my faith
Plain talk can be the easy way
Signs of losin' my faith, losin' my faith
[Verse 6]
So I sat down for a while
Yeah, forcin' a smile
In a state of self-denial
Is it worthwhile
[Verse 7]
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, just one dime
[Verse 8]
Sellin', sellin' my pity for a dime
And another man take my soul
[Verse 9]
So I sat down for a while
Yeah, forcin' a smile
In a state of self-denial
Yeah, is it worthwhile
[Verse 10]
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, just one dime
[Verse 11]
Sellin', sellin' my pity for a dime
And another man take my soul
