Ten Days Before Pay
People aren't really listening
There’s litter all over the place
Money is moving like water
The ocean in the distance
brings you back to the ground
It’s always ten days before pay
Just at this moment you have thrown your heart away
How did I land up this way?
Then I realize it’s all but a lifetime in a day
You pick up that wrapper while a women ahead drops another
You can walk the world in circles cleaning up others’ mess
You walk the world in circles getting more and more depressed
It’s always ten days before pay
Just at this moment you have thrown your heart away
How did I land up this way?
Then I realize it’s all but a lifetime in a day
Painting the world in a million colours
The child sees only the good
You reach for a brush and give the sky a purple glow
you look into her eyes and see only the good
A new flower to a garden of weeds
It smells like roses in here
It smells like roses
It’s always ten days before pay
Just at this moment you have thrown your heart away
How did I land up this way?
Then I realize it’s all but a lifetime in a day
