Tom Take The Money

(album: Landmines & Pantomimes - 1998)

When a fever goes down
Like a belly in the morning
The reality sighs
Almost looks like we could've made it sense
Say you'll stay a while, yeah
Long enough to let me believe it
You could see them
Dressing up in passion for the winter
You could see them bombing along for the ride
Those heroes they die
Those heroes they die

Tom, take the money, take the money and run
Tom, take the money, take the money and run
Tom, take the money, take the money and run

When the company calls
Shiny pair of scissors to release you
In an offer you can't resist
Let's face it, money versus friendship
Well, would you stake your bet on me?
I'll be in the sharp queue smiling
You could see them
Making you believe that you were smiling
You could see their names on the seats inside
Well, the heroes they die
Those heroes they die

Tom, take the money, take the money and run
Tom, take the money, take the money and run
Tom, take the money, take the money and run
Take the money and run

Tom, take the money, take the money and run
Tom, take the money, take the money and run
Tom, take the money, take the money and run
Take the money and run

Tom, take the money, take the money and run
Tom, take the money, take the money and run
Tom, take the money, take the money and run
Take the money and run

When the fever goes down
I wish you were still around
