cause Cheap is How I Feel — текст песни (cowboy junkies)

Its the kind of night thats so cold, when you spit

It freezes before it hits the ground

And when a bum asks you for a quarter, you give a dollar

If hes out tonight he must be truly down

And Im searching all the windows for a last minute present

To prove to you that what I said was real,

For something small and frail and plastic, baby,

cause cheap is how I feel



Half moon in the sky tonight, bright enough

To come up with an answer

To the question why is it that every time I see you

My love grows a little stronger

But your memory leaves my stomach churning,

Feeling like a lie about to be revealed,

But Ill horde all this to myself

cause cheap is how I feel



Its not the smell in here that gets to me its the lights

I hate the shadows that they cast,

And the sound of clinking bottles is the one sure thing

Ill always drag with me from my past

I think Ill find a pair of eyes tonight, to fall into

And maybe strike a deal

Your body for my soul, fair swap

`cause cheap is how I feel
