Money, money why do you run so fast?
To and fro you dart
All attempts to catch you
Akin to catching wind in my hands
Like air through the sand
Soon you slip
Like a drop of simmering tea slips
From the lips of old mother Ruth
Unable to catch you
I watch you leave
And slowly evaporate
Without saying goodbye
Why do you always leave me so?
Money money, please lay with me in bed
Kiss my eyes with your splendour
And carress my thighs with your powerful hands
While I feel the weight of you
Lying peacefully in my pocket
Money money, how I love you
Please stay with me
And I promise to treat you right
Please dear elusive one, tell me
What can I give to prove my love?
How can I win your faltering heart?
What will win your eternal loyalty?
Books have taught
Messengers have preached
I fail at all
But I won't give up
For all my thoughts
Are filled only with visions of you
