[Intro]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh my sunshine
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh and the little bird says you're not alone
No, you're not alone

[Verse 1]
Tonight you called me up just to ask me
"Oh, why's the music up, so loud?"
And said, "You're way too old for that"
I laughed at you and said, "You're only seventeen"
And, "Are you kidding me?"

You kept him cold at night standing all alone
And putting up your best fight
Left from the magazines
And bathrooms too small for your clothes
You're skin and bones
So if this sees eyes, what will keep you occupied?

[Pre-Chorus]
The logic of fashion and name-brand compassion
You're looking alright, but in the mean time
I'll be playing the black keys
And singing the west coast blues tonight
'Cause in a dark light, everyone looks alike
[Chorus]
Oh, moneymaker, get down
This is a holdup, I'm taking my respect back
Oh, moneymaker, break down
The triple digit ring, gold watch that plagues your filthy hands

[Verse 2]
And I've been thinking twice about the things I say
The choices I made
'Cause it comes right back, they congregate and they lie
Eyes always dry, there will be no room for compromise tonight
Not even for you tonight

I helped you find a home
If you want to write-on now
'Cause it's not like you to let go, let go
Baby let yourself shine
Where did that girl I ran for go?
She grew up fast, I kept it slow

[Pre-Chorus]
The logic of fashion and name-brand compassion
You're looking alright, but in the mean time
I'll be playing the black keys
And singing the west coast blues tonight, tonight, tonight
'Cause in a dark light, everyone looks alike, let's go
[Chorus]
Moneymaker, back down
I won't be seen with you
I won't kill the way you do
These walls are shaking right now
Big shot, we'll be starting fights
So we can all end this all tonight
Well lets go

[Bridge]
You showed her out, locked the door
You sat and smiled, they wanted more
The chemicals that she calls her friends
Stuck with it to the bitter end
But you know
She's smiling, you know
You're crying, you know
She got so carried out

[Outro]
I've been dying to, just to ask you
What went wrong?
So, if you're feeling too
Keep the feeling true
So if you're feeling too
Keep the feeling true
I've been dying to, just to ask you
