haven't had the bottom fall in such a long time
staring out this window
the outside looks a little grayer than it has been
haven't had the curtain fall in such a long time
all this time here waiting
tomorrow's another day of coming up short again
(CHORUS)
your most beautiful disguise
so clever, I should try it sometime
underneath your tired eyes
the tears you brought all dry
I wish, if only for a while
you could see things through my eyes
your most beautiful disguise
so clever, I should try it sometime
this seems like a distant success
I would fight for the chance
but I've seen them kill for less than all this
my arms are tired of throwing
my hands, this place, empty
giving up on me, giving up to you
(CHORUS)What a fool to step into those shoes
Either way you know they win or lose
You know money talks
Your eyes they ain't so blue
You love to watch the green-backs walk
You got a five-buck side-pack
Tell me, tell me someone stop this pain
It's your place I was in a rage insane
I wanted your love so bad
But your eyes are never blue
Droolin' over green-back poolin'
You got a five-buck side-pack
Well I must have been right about something
Yes to make it to here and to tell you something
Cause nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Well I must have been mad about something
Cause I'm M A D and I spell it for nothing
Cause nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
What a fool to step into those shoes
Either way you know they[you?] win or lose
You know money talks
Your eyes so paralysed
Don't you realise
For love and hate it's just too late
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
