The Songs That We Sing

I saw somebody who Reminded me of you Before you got afraid I wish that you could've stayed that way I saw a little girl I stopped and smiled at her She screamed and ran away It happens to me more and more these days [Chorus] And these songs that you sing Do they mean anything To the people you're singing them to People like you I saw a photograph A woman in a bath Of hundred dollar bills If the cold doesn't kill her, money will I read a magazine That said by seventeen Your life was at an end I'm dead and I'm perfectly content [Chorus: x2]
