Monopoly Lyrics - Fat City - Shawn Colvin

I don't know what else to do 

I would rather do anything 

Than write this song for you 

And perpetuate this thing 

In my head, in my living room 

With the usual arsenal 

Of broken chords and rusty strings 

To surrender all 

And I don't like to be so weak 

Retreating behind these lines 

And the same old tongue-in-cheek 

Regretting that both are mine 

And I don't like to live this way 

This is really true 

But I know better than to pray now 

About what I just have to learn to do 

But imagine the nerve of God 

Letting me let you in 

And I thought I could let you go in grace 

I've gotta think again 

Because right now I would be bought and sold 

To see your face somewhere 

I would sell your sweet, sweet soul 

Just to touch your crazy black gold hair 

Well I don't care what's really real 

And I was someone that you'd heard of 

I saw Heaven in your eyes 

And we made a deal that's what I know of love 

Music, it never goes 

But I told you I hate that shit 

When people say "Well you know" 

You got a song out of it 

But I don't know what else to do 

I would rather be anywhere 

Than here without you
