Play Money - The New Pornographers

I only play for money, honey

Look at what this fun has done to me

It has me gunning for the country

Sky’s memory and moonless

Vision copied from the bootlegs

We are out of tune so mostly tuneless

For a fee I’ll fight any foe

For a fee I’ll take it and go

I’ll only play if

Only when my lips are moving

You’ve been careful here to keep the tempo

Only play with money, careful

Not to trigger some reversal

And to live by an obscure example

For a fee I’ll fight any foe

For a fee I’ll stop any show

I know, depending on you to get this right

Depending on you to climb these heights

Depending on you, it’s pay per view

Pick the path of least resistance

Over the hills and out of wisdom

And just when I thought we beat the system

I knew a gentle man of leisure

He loved to talk about his treasure

And of how he got it for a song, song, song, song

For a fee I’ll right any wrong

For a fee I’ll right any wrong

For a fee I’ll fight any foe

For a fee I’ll stop any show

I know, depending on you to get this right

Depending on you to climb these heights

Depending on you, it’s pay per view

Only live for happy endings

we started parting

My affinity for closing clues

Never been an opportunist

I accept the prize if I somehow surprise us all and get there soonest

I only play for money, honey

I only play with money, honey
