Couldn't I buy you an handkerchief?
Woven only of gold and the colors of dawn
Wear it to the banquet
Wave it slowly in the air when the grownups have gone
Fold it to you breast
Let the night do the rest
Hold it to your watery eye
The best that money can buy
Can we settle down and make a child?
Raise him up like the morning sun over the bay
I'll stick around a while
But I've known fathers to dissolve out
Into the rain and the snow
Let's make a child that will never get old, my love
A child that will never die
The best that money can buy
I this kingdom of loaded guns
Where we measure a man by the things that he gains
To hell with the lowly ones
Keep your prayers on the banker and the seeker of fame
In this kingdom of slaves
And radio waves
Where nobody ever cries
The best that money can buy (repeat twice)
