The Figurants - When You're Afraid of Money Lyrics

Because I found your treasure on the shore
I won't make fun of you anymore
Every now and then, I'll try to be your friend
But sometimes there's nothing underneath
And sometimes you've gotta bleed for free
He made an army of them in the dunes
Bottled up in jars to make more room
All those lost souls at night, resigned and with no fight
Found him at the ending of the shore
Found a place where there could be no more
He lacked in the fundamentals of luck
Over-compensates with an abundance of trust
You never had a chance to make a home
Let alone a place to put a phone
You can't get as much out as you put in
He blathered on like he is known to do
Something about a train, his words are crude
Syllables falling through, some words entirely new
Have led him home to try to figure out
Why he can see the future in the clouds
He sneezed so hard he made the sun go down
Causing a bus to crash into a park downtown
Gone was the white and blue, his programing now through
Let him stare at the bottom of the sea
Until he can control his allergies
He lacked in the fundamentals of dust
His mind races away like an interest bearing trust
You can't ever put him on the phone
Unless you want to hear a monster moan
When he can't get as much out as he had put in
