Buy And Sell

Cocaine and quiet beers, sweet candy and caramels

Pass the time and dry the tears on a street called buy and sell

Life turns like the endless sea, death tolls like a vesper bell

Children laugh and lovers dream on a street called buy and sellLadies dressed calico style, beware, your heart

When they smile and their men walk shamelessly, aimlessly by

Cinders in the daylight, junkyards in the sky, buy and sell

Sell my goods to buy my roof, my bed, my bedTwo pennies will buy a rose, three pennies and who can tell

On a street that comes and goes by the name of buy and sell

Buy and sell, sell my goods to buy my roof, my bed
