and love regained

in a game of chance

love lost

and cash regained

in a ritual dance

she buys the presents

he has no past

she is his future

and the debts are growing fast

they love each other

they're working hard

love has a cost

but not a credit card

now she

she sees the money

she works with money

and watches cash flow

now he

he sees the money

he makes some money

but he doesn't know

they walk

vacation paycheck

they're on a boat deck

in a financial sea

now they

talk to each other

walk to each other

in a creditor's dream

cash lost

and love regained

in a game of chance

love lost

and cash regained

in a ritual dance

their love gets stronger

but costs increase

work days get longer

but their love's on lease

they pay the rental

they pay the bills

their money talks

but their credit kills

now she

she sees her limits

she's past her limits

but she can't turn back

and he

he sees her changing

he sees her gaining

as she's she's under attack

they run

they're on a treadmill

live near a landfill

at the freeways end

now they

they've started praying

the rent that they're paying

won't be raised again
