Found A Penny - Kim Fox

Honey, you’ve not been the same since we pawned your gold molar

An hour of makeup to go to the grocery store

The man down the street has caviar to eat

Are you gonna go knockin' on his door?

My brush with fame is now a picture I’ve framed for the kitchen

But now that it’s over, am I still the main you adore?

The old song and dance is like a Harlequin romance

That won’t pay the gas bill anymore

Found a penny, hid it in my mouth, and I don’t know where it’s been

Found a penny, hid it in my mouth, and I don’t know where it’s been

If blue sharkskin suits and old white snakeskin boots get the women

Then the only true love that I’ve known was a kiss from my mom

'Cause fashion’s a tease, an air-polluted breeze

The 2 A.M.

lightning you think is dawn

Found a penny, hid it in my mouth, and I don’t know where it’s been

Found a penny, hid it in my mouth, and I don’t know where it’s been

In my sleep, I hear a call

Down the stairway and through the hall

Anywhere that we can go

So harmonies can echo

Honey, you’ve not been the same since the rain swelled the gutters

And all of our treasure washed up on the New Jersey shore

The kids get to build sandcastles with emerald faucets

And gold-plated doors

While I sing

Found a penny, hid it in my mouth, and I don’t know where it’s been

Found a penny, hid it in my mouth, and I don’t know where it’s been
