lyrics

Wish I had the setting sun for all it's golden splendor-
I'd drag it round by my little paw, all the world would watch in awe
and all their hearts surrender...

If I were yours to drag around, cried the setting sun-
I'd stay dim as a coin of tin, for all I love to do is spin so don't
you drag me under...

I'll send a letter to the bank captain who towers over New England-
and I'll send three to those who'll see the mark of famous destiny
upon my application...

Answer, answer, come what will I'm waiting for your call-
to smite my rags and empty bags, and take up away from lazy hags and kiss my goldhaired fortune fate...

I've always found my luck at hand but don't know from where to pluck it-
Now, was it not a flowing stream that always brought the good things in? No,
I think it was a bucket...

Wish I had a pipe and bowl to hold against the days-
I'd smoke away the darkening dusk, and dream about what surely must
be coming soon my way...

Wish I had the break to part the city like the sea-
among the worse who I'll ever curse, dismiss, and maybe pinch their verse they
will eventually reckon me...

Wish I had the brilliance of all the jewels of time-
money's dumb, it sucks its thumb, gets traded round and cared for none I will extort it with my rhyme...

Now I see not who I speak to but could you take a word from me-
don't pick upon the food of dreams, it will grow hard and you'll grow mean,
and then away together fade to dust the both of ye...
