Coin

Lyrics for Coin

I gave a coin to a shaman He showed me a vision so bright I was so glad to have seen it all But I awoke with a fright So I gave a coin to a scientist Who showed me which number I was Told me the order of things to come But I forgot what it was So I gave a coin to a president He sent me to fight in his war I still don't know who won, who lost I still don't know what it was for Just lock all the doors And get down on the floor They'll be comin' for more Always comin' for more So I gave my next coin to a baby He took it to put in his mouth Swallowed it whole, then started to crawl I knew he wouldn't remember me at all When he grew up And took a look at the world When he grew up And had nothin' to hold When he grew up And saw it's my fault So I took my last coin and I gave it to you You smiled and said, "Oh, you shouldn't have" But your eyes spoke louder than your mouth Your eyes said thank you, your eyes said love Love is enough Of a reason to stay Love is enough Of a reason to stay Love is enough
