Who can spare a dime
Or I can call collect
And watch the cars go slippin' by
It's a manner of affection
To walk the kind of walk
That you would want to see
From the cotton candy sky
To the alabaster sea
Simulate my love
And how's it supposed to feel?
Like you were watching from above?
Like the wagon came off the wheel?
Oh it's close enough to taste
In the corner of some house
Mama's are callin' papa's mama's are callin'
Home was you
Ringing my bell
Oh, you come too
And I want say a thing
Dreams come swift and true
Stealing pennies from the well
Oh, oh you come too
My spooky little thing
I'm just a little pill, take me twice a day
We'll find a little tree where we'll carve our name
And drive to lose the road, drive to stay awake
An honor and a curse, I can't complain
In the great beyond
It could be so clear
Like silence just before the dawn and all the nothing surrounds us dear
Oh it's close enough to taste
In the corner of my mouth
Listen it's calling mama, listen it's calling
In the great beyond
It could be so clear
And I'll talk the kind of talk
I'll bring it close to home
I'll make it worth the while
Year after ever loving year
Home was you
Ringing my bell
Oh you come too
And I won't say a thing
Dreams come swift and true
Stealing pennies from the well
Oh, oh you come too
My spooky little thing
