Insufficient Funds

Insufficient funds You do bank in your heart My cancelled check of love Drove us apart Your account closed off To any eyes but your own And you are unlikely To provide a loan Makes you but a pauper to me, Your account is worthless As far as I can see, No cold ATM withdrawals No smiling teller's eyes Seems that love You do despise You keep your own, Others you disdain Only your own, Do you maintain... Spendthrift of love You'll die alone, No one is good enough No one will hear Your final moan I spend my love foolishly, At times, I admit, And I know, You don't give a sh_t, But I stand a chance, Slim it may be, For someone to hold my hand, With the last light I see... I feel sorry for you You cheat yourself You have no emotion, Your soul is small I hate to see Your final fall No hand for you to grasp, No hope for you to hold, Your soul is frigid, Your soul is cold.
