The Smell Of Money Lyrics - Todd Rundgren

My boy I say you're unaware of 

Things that I am unaware of 

The things they say behind one's back 

That you suspect but aren't quite sure of 

Don't say you haven't noticed 

The smell of money is all about me 

I just can't rid myself 

Of it's overpowering bouquet 

My inner beauty cursed with obscurity 

By a scent that can't be washed away

I don't know who you think I am 

But if I'm who I think I am 

Then there's no cranny I've examined 

Taints the air where ere I am 

But don't say you haven't noticed 

The smell of money wafts all about me 

It neutralizes any other odors I convey 

Best friends won't tell me 

They know I'm suffering 

With a scent that can't be washed away 

Photos 

The stench of money 

Is reeking off of me 

A mix of cheap cologne 

Weasel pheromone and rotted grave 

Thank dad and mommy 

I'm filthy, stinking rich 

So I can say to you "piss off" 

I bathe, I bathe
