Can you put a price upon
every lingering breath
can you work it out and say
what every minute's worth
time is always money
and you're such a very heavy spender
you're squeaky clean
you're out of legal tender
then ...

Certainty
it's so sexy
you're too cold to drop
you could be eating
Ciba Geigy goat cheese
you need to tell someone
to tell you when to stop

There's only ever been
one soft option
one blank cheque
one deep breath
to take you up to the neck
you need more
I'll get you some
see me okay
with Rimbaud bubblegum

So much goes to Sally
so much goes to Ma
