For a brief moment

I knew it was about money

You had none to spare

So you played with the boy

And jumped and dove

You splintered into two

A player and a scolder

A spinner and a high-roller

And I only wanted

It to be all about you

But nothing to it

They don’t seem to be free

The few pieces of coin

You couldn’t afford

To roll them to me

You needed them, right?

Because we were poor

Weren’t we?
