The Dead Milkmen - Dollar Signs In Her Eyes lyrics

The weeds are growing high

She dropped her laundry off at school

And hung her children on the clothesline to dry

She's throwing trash in her simming pool

She's pouring chlorine on her lawn

You might think she needs a pair of glasses

But, no, my friend you're wrong

She cannot see the beauty in a tree

Or in the life that it supplies

This should not strike you as a mystery

For she has dollar signs in her eyes

She's crashing her car in an intersection

She did not see the light

She's walking round and round in a shopping mall

As if she had no sight

Dreams are only clouds

That form and dissipate

The sky is a highway for metal birds

And land is real estate

She does not understand her world depends

Upon a history of lies

She walks right by all her old high school friends

For she has dollar signs in her eyes
