$9 Dollars Songtext
von Alien Eyelid

Thank you for the coffee
And the rolled cigarette
Thank you for the evening
I soon hope to forget
Thank you for the lines, my friend
That you cut up for free
Sorry if I rambled
About everything I see

Early in the morning
When the cops change their shifts
Drive down the back roads, sipping on a fifth
Looking for that old haunt
Where we used to go
Down by the alleyway
Chasing after ghosts


Sipping margaritas
In the moonlight
Talk about the old town
Talk about the rodeo
In the morning
Would you lend me nine dollars

My tank is empty, I′ve got no place to go

Chasing down a feeling
That you had way back when
Runnin' down a rumor blowin′ in the wind
When friends fall on hard times
As friends often do
Isn't it a pity
If it should ever happen to you

Sipping margaritas
In the moonlight
Talk about the old town
Talk about the rodeo
In the morning
Would you lend me nine dollars

My tank is empty, I've got no place to go
My tank is empty, I′ve got no place to go


Thank you for the coffee
And the rolled cigarette
Thank you for the evening
I soon hope to forget
