Time moves on like money it's gone
But this is not a song about temporality
And money measures time by the balance in the bank
But this is not a song about money
Waking up at 6:15
I cut my nails, recount my dream
An easter egg
A lightening bolt
A pair of shoes
An evening coat
And everyone's a we or they
And this is how I start my day
Boxer briefs
Toyota key
I'm clocking in but not actually
Cause time moves on like money it's gone
But this is not a song about that
And money measures time by the balance in the bank
But this is not a song about that either
A mushroom cloud
A monster cookie
A muscle bound mom-to-be
And a dollar bill
Floating free
From a sticky-handed hypocrisy
Daisy chains and lazy days
My third job since June
Cold fronts clash like broken glass
In the living room
An ice machine
A movie star
Some birth control
A chin-up bar
A barbie doll
An hour glass
A platinum card
An hour to pass
A kiss hello
A spatula
An envelope for what you have done
And another day
A different sun
And my arms around the waist of another one
