Love Or Money Lyrics - Miles Of Aisles (live) - Joni Mitchell

The firmament of Tinsel Town 

Is strung with tungsten stars 

Lot's of forty watt successes 

He says, "Where's my own shining hour?" 

He's the well kept secret of the underground 

He's in debt to the company store 

Because his only channeled aspiration 

Was getting back that girl he had before 

He's got stacks and stacks of words that rhyme 

Describing what it is to lose 

He's got some just for laughs, he's got some for love 

That mainline to his blues 

Some to shed a little light 

On you and on me 

Some to shed a little light 

On a human story

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

The wars of pride and property 

The rebel Irish and the promised land Jew 

Fighting behind his eyes and over seas 

Wounded in action and no ceasefire in view 

Brave reporters bring the battles home 

But tonight inside that box 

Just more bang-bang ketchup color to him 

Just more Twentieth Century Fox 

All because that ghostly girl comes haunting 

Just out of reach outside his bed 

She kicks the covers off of his sleep 

For the clumsy things he said 

She commands his head 

She tries his sanity 

She demands his head 

Tonight unknowingly 

Photos 

Vaguely she floats and lacelike 

Blown in like a curtain on the night wind 

She's nebulous and naked 

He wonders where she's been 

He grabs at the air because there's nothing there 

Her evasiveness stings him now 

With long legs, long lonely legs 

Bruised from banging into things 

One day he was standing just outside her door 

He was carrying an armload of bright balloons 

She just laughed 

She said she heard him knocking 

And she teased him for the moon 

"Is one the moon, dear clown 

Tied to a string for me?" 

He tried but he could not get it down 

For truth or mystery 

He tried but he could not get it down 

For love or money
