All You Need Is Nothing

(album: Pretty Music For Pretty People - 2014)

All you need is nothing

She stopped eating food on May the 16th
By the 23rd of August she had lost most her teeth
She said, you don't need to swallow, as long as you can breathe
All you need is nothing

There's a car lot on the nice side of town
They'll hand you the keys with no money down
There's a car lot on the nice side of town
Just trade in your baby for the deal to go down

He spent the rent money on and sea monkeys and weed
Now he lives in the park with the birds and the bees
He said you don't need a roof when you're covered in fleas
All you need is nothing

They moved in together in a tent down by the creek
If they feel ambitious, they shower once a week
They say you don't need a mansion, you don't need clean sheets
All you need is nothing

I know a restaurant that never asks for cash
They serve a wicked side of corn beef hash
Just wait till they close and then dig through the trash
I heard somebody singing "all you need is love" well, love's the most expensive thing I can think of
I heard somebody singing "all you need is love" but all you need is nothing

Hey hey Mister, can you spare a dime
To save this ol' man from a life of crime
Hey, hey mister can you spare a little
Can you spare a little
