Ponzi Scheme Songtext
von Eric Brace & Peter Cooper

Lost my sunbeam in a Ponzi scheme
Don′t ask me how that works
Now every time I walk around
In town I see the smirks
She was a willowy girl with a toothy grin
I was a hopeful man, I took it on the chin
I lost my sunbeam in a Ponzi scheme
Don't ask me how that works


Shoulda read the fine print, devil′s in the details
Really not a fine print guy
She threw a perfect pitch, pulled a bait and switch
Maybe I turned a blind eye
Truth or dare, man, buyer beware
Sorry about the whole disordered affair
I shoulda read the fine print, devil's in the details
Really not a fine print guy

Hey, what did you say?
No, no, it didn't happen that way
I was good to her, she′s the one in the wrong here
I got the runaround
Took my love and everything
That wasn′t bolted down

Rust and rubber, hard concrete
That's the view from under the bus
Just because she said it well
That did not make it thus
She′s a confident girl in a confidence game
I'm all the worse and none the same
Rust and rubber, hard concrete
That′s the view from under the bus


Lost my sunbeam in a Ponzi scheme
Don't ask me how that works
