Patti Smith - Cash lyrics

(Smith/Ray)

Here we go around again Curve of life spiraling

Everything we've ever known As the seed of life gets blown

And the miracle of time When will that time just end

Remember, you decide Take that vow

Grab that ring It's not a whim

Not a whim When you be cashing in

Try to turn your life around And all the things you do resound

And then you can't loose control Say your time has come and then

Hard to pinpoint find the seam Where that one time ends

Where that time begins Remember, you decide

Take that vow Take a stand

Grab that ring It's not a whim

It's not a whim It's only time

That you're cashing in

In the white noise of desire We can't hear a single thing

Floating round the fragile bough Afflictions of the human soul

Its beauty immaterial

You decide Stand along

The fallen ones Take revenge

Defeated sons Rend that coat

From seam to seam It's only time

It's only time That you spend

You spend It's only time

You spend Its only time

You spend It's only life

That you're cashing in
