The Moneys Gone by Coyote Grace Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look up at that building
It must be fifty stories tall
I see the water beyond the waves
I see it all
Moving 'round in the morning
Drink my coffee and tea
I remember how I thought it would be
A life for you and me

[Chorus]
If I can have anything I want
If I can have it all
Then I can take
Knowing the way things are
Can’t you see
The money’s gone

[Verse 2]
I would buy you a house in Discovery Bay
With a deck, a boat, and a child
I would buy you back the blood you’ve lost
I’d buy us a little while
There’s a park outside behind the freeway
I take a little ride
What we borrow comes from somewhere
No matter how we hide
[Chorus]
If I can have anything I want
If I can have it all
Then I can take
Knowing the way things are
Can’t you see
The money’s gone

[Bridge]
Summer comes and goes
Nobody can hold it in
But I can’t get up
But I won’t give in
Everybody loses
And wins

[Verse 3]
There’s a view stretching over Broadway
Above the noise and dim
I know what I spent my money on
I know what state I’m in
I’ll head down to California
I’ll head out east someday
And I’m taking you for what you are
And I’ll be with you all along your way
[Chorus]
If I can have anything I want
If I can have it all
Then I can take
Knowing the way things are
Can’t you see
The money’s gone
