lyrics

Cherry Bomb explodes outside my window
Kids across the street are getting high and making jokes
About a girl who they don't know one day will make her name
As a rodeo queen

The papers say it’s gonna be a good year
For speculators, fortune tellers, therapists and war
But that's no consolation for a man whose made an art
Out of buying high and selling low

We walk, we talk
We close our eyes
To the signs
By the side of the road

Another storefront turns its back on King Street
A busker sings his heart out underneath the overhang
And tries to make a living out of Joni Mitchell songs
But it ain't easy for a baritone

The profit takers rub their magic lanterns
And gaze into their crystal balls and thank their lucky stars
For the correlation between laying people off
And a sudden increase in the price of shares

The politicians line-up at the buffet
Fret over their pension plans and their delinquent sons
Talk about their g-g-generation's legacy
And bow their heads and say a prayer
