Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A banker in a tired suit is countin' in his head
He's standin' in your overcoat, he's lyin' on your bed
President Gas is tap dancin' for the banker, he's a thief
He isn't very honest but he's obvious at least
[Verse 2]
You and I are walkin' past, yeah
Having lost our way
We don't count our money
We are giving it away, yeah, giving it away
[Verse 3]
Ah, this policeman is just sittin' down in sunglasses and dirt
Undercover now at least, so nobody gets hurt
They go through this pantomime, they do it everyday
They'll be back again tomorrow but they don't play for free
[Verse 4]
You and I are walkin' past, yeah
Having lost our way
We don't count our paper
We are giving it away, yeah, giving it away
[Verse 5]
Doesn't this remind you of these things we've done before?
Like countin' all the times we've seen ourselves in other scenes
Everybody's busy, listening and pulling blinds
This is all so stupid, we're just shouting I want you
[Verse 6]
You and I are walkin' past, yeah
Having lost our way
We don't count our money
We are giving it away, yeah, giving it away
[Verse 7]
Let it stay forever now
Let it stay forever now
Let it stay forever now
Let it stay forever now
