[00:02.240]
[00:19.200] I was temporarily blind by a neon dollar sign
[00:24.010] It pacified my mind and whispered things are fine
[00:28.670] Said boy if you wanna heal just sign this paper deal
[00:33.150] You'll never have to beg no you'll never have to steal
[00:38.120]
[00:39.750] But when that giving tree stops giving
[00:42.450] I've gotta get back to living living like I did before
[00:48.820] With a mattress on the floor and no food in my kitchen
[00:53.520] I gotta get back to living like I did before
[00:58.600] Living like I did before
[01:01.900]
[01:02.840] Trading one pound of gold for now ten pounds of flesh
[01:07.060] You gotta sell this old soul for whatever you can get
[01:11.830] Trading one pound of gold for now ten pounds of flesh
[01:16.280] You gotta sell this old soul for whatever you can get
[01:21.360] Whatever you can get
[01:23.600]
[01:33.970] Down in the city streets grows a giving tree
[01:38.860]
[01:40.110] Out of solid stone mortared by my bone
[01:44.010] And watered by my tears strengthened by my fears
[01:48.750] It's gonna grow strong it's gonna live long
[01:51.170] Gonna haunt me for years
[01:53.380]
[01:53.980] But when that giving tree stops giving
[01:56.560] I've gotta get back to living living like I did before
[02:02.320]
[02:03.110] With a mattress on the floor and no food in my kitchen
[02:07.770] I gotta get back to living like I did before
[02:12.370]
[02:12.920] Living like I did before
[02:16.260]
[02:16.920] Trading one pound of gold for now ten pounds of flesh
[02:21.450] You gotta sell this old soul for whatever you can get
[02:26.100] Trading one pound of gold for now ten pounds of flesh
[02:30.550] You gotta sell this old soul for whatever you can get
[02:35.910] Whatever you can get
[02:39.500]
[02:59.770] It's beautiful fruit seems ripe at ground level
[03:04.120] It's dangerous roots lead straight down to the devil
[03:08.800] Lead straight down to the devil
[03:10.930] Lead straight down to the devil
[03:13.150] Lead straight down to the devil
[03:16.170]
[03:17.120] When that giving tree stops giving
[03:19.050] I've gotta get back to living living like I did before
[03:23.460]
[03:25.410] With a mattress on the floor and no food in my kitchen
[03:30.230] I gotta get back to living like I did before
[03:34.860] Trading one pound of gold for now ten pounds of flesh
[03:39.170] You gotta sell this old soul for whatever you can get
[03:43.290]
[03:43.850] Trading one pound of gold for now ten pounds of flesh
[03:48.330] You gotta sell this old soul for whatever you can get
[03:53.070] Trading one pound of gold for now ten pounds of flesh
[03:57.480] You gotta sell this old soul for whatever you can get
[04:02.080] Trading one pound of gold for now ten pounds of flesh
[04:06.570] You gotta sell this old soul for whatever you can get
[04:11.710] One pound of gold ten pounds of flesh
[04:15.780]
[04:16.360] Sell this old soul ever you can get
[04:20.280] Like I did before
[04:21.210] One pound of gold ten pounds of flesh
[04:25.420] Sell this old soul ever you can get
[04:29.430] Like I did before
[04:30.310] One pound of gold ten pounds of flesh
[04:34.470] Gonna sell this old soul for whatever you can get
[04:39.520] One pound of gold ten pounds of flesh
[04:43.700] Gonna sell this old soul for whatever you can get
[04:47.450] Like I did before
