Tape up the windows, keep the heat that's left inside Light the remnants of a candle, let the flame grow bright Open up another can of corn for the evening feast If I play my cards right, I can make it last all week Adjust the antenna for better reception Fill this starving soul with tales of sorrow and deception Tell myself, "At least it ain't so bad" Hop on the bus, out of sight, through the back Take it all the way downtown, join the friendly pack Of folks all bundled up in every article of clothing that they own All of them without a paycheck, some without a home Play the usual games for a fistful of bills Gotta make more than the last guy in a test of wills Gotta stretch these single dollars as far out as they will go When will they snap? I don't wanna know And the folks all walking by have learned not to notice Pushing down the pity that always wants to rise But I can smell it in the air, in the wind on my back Flying free, chasing me Bills fill the mailbox, another late fee warning Ain't got checks to send collectors, I'll deal with it in the morning Waiting for the day when they finally pull the plug These belts are growing tighter, I can feel the tug Dream of changing my name and skipping town They'll tear up this old rat hole, they'll flip it upside down With my fourth from last dollar I will figure out somehow To turn my lack of fortune all the way around And the creditors can sic their dogs on my trail But they'll never find me when I change my form Smiling with a new face, with the wind on my back Flying free, where nothing can chase me
