Pocket Change
Written by Monte Montgomery
A shot in the dark, a falling star
The blink of an eye and I'm right where you are
Wherever that is I'm so out of touch
Nightly walking the check in a world gone Dutch
I don't know what day it is
I'm just walking around in a state of external bliss
But inside I'm calling your name
You left me standing here with a pocket full of
Never gonna change
Duplicity from a serpent's tongue
How do I react to such a crime as this one
I'm bound to employ, the method you teach
With a smile on my face and my hand out of reach
I don't know what day it is
I'm just walking around in a daze and I'm thoroughly pissed
But inside I'm calling your name
You left me standing here with a pocket full of
Never gonna change
Never gonna change isn't the way
You shouldn't be anymore than
I should have possession of a permanent key
To the one place you scrutinize and hide so well
All of a sudden your love is just another case of kiss and tell
The races you've run you've often won
Mostly because you've jumped ahead of the gun
It's no hit parade in this circus wheel life
You get a piece of the pie with a dull-edged knife
I don't know what day it is
I'm just walking around looking crazed with a balled up fist
But inside I'm calling your name
You left me standing here with a pocket full of
Never gonna change
amish
