Arc Iris - Money Gnomes Lyrics
Love falls gently from the skyIn bundles oh so sweetMoney lurks inside the soilPressed beneath our feetWhy dig up that wily stuffWhen all it’s bred to doIs sully all the pretty boys and girlsWho love me doFoiled again would be my plan,To live in peace with youIf the coin were to emergeAnd slyly overseeWhat showers come of bundled goodsFrom cupid's tender treesHe'd surely twist those precious goodsInto his shivering tranceAnd round and round with wicked tricksThe lovers he would dance"Dance me round", she cried to him"I'll waltz you till you love me."I watch her fie the boiling skyFrom deep beneath the wilted leavesHer body screaming for his ploy"Why must riches make us thieves? "Until they plunge into the groundDigging for their goldCold and rotten roots engulfThe drugs they seek I'm toldOnce the coin is in clear sightTheir love is sick with illusionsOf safety driven by the shadowed tranceHolding their sweet confusionsLove has no place in a dreary worldObsessed with shiny thingsJust unfantastic happeningsNot approved by cupid's ringsFollow me to a place so freeOf all these impish deedsFrom glen to glen to city bendFrom folly we will flee"Dance me round", she cried to him"I'll waltz you till you love meI watch her fie the boiling skyFrom deep beneath the wilted leavesHer body screaming for his ploy"Why must riches make us thieves? "Love me please, love me true, love me beautifully"Who," she asks most critically "is speaking down to me?"Love me please, love me true, love me beautifully
