Lyrics
He said "You see, baby
It's the only way we'll lift ourselves up from the ground"
She said "You know, honey
It's the kind of money just designed to bring us down"
Peeking out the window wondering who is at the door
Neighbors are like arctic ice
Don't want us here no more
chorus:
Tell me again now
That life will be so good
Tell me again how
We'll have the things we should
Tell me again now
So I can ease this pain
Tell me again
He said "You see, baby
It's the only way we'll set ourselves up for all time"
She said "Yes, the money's done so much
That honey, doesn't seem it's like a crime"
But cops are at the door
They're trying hard to break it in
I can see the future
It's looking grim
Bridge:
Sunshine is so far away
Baby, we won't make it
The night is here to stay
