Sand Dollars

[Verse 1] I've been humming a high note Maybe something that I wrote Out sailing in my boat I’m not really sure I’m still singing the same tune Been kicking around since June All morning and afternoon Now it’s all a blur I’ve been listenin' to sea shells To hear the stories that they tell Of high times and tide swells That have yet to occur [Pre-Chorus 1] Backsliding down the drain Partially taking all the blame [Chorus] Chasing coins to fill the purse Is it really better or for worse Is it a blessing or a curse to pass the buck Is it a bounty or a bust Is it precious metal or just rust Well it seems it’s up to us [Post-Chorus] So wish us luck [Verse 2] I kept making a U-turn Ended up with a sunburn But the lesson that I learned Was worth the skin that peeled I climbed so many mountains It’s not even worth countin' All the drinks in the fountain Before it was revealed [Pre-Chorus 2] Backsliding down the drain Partially taking all the blame [Bridge] From the copper to the kettle The stamen to the petal We watch the value of sand dollars crumble [Chorus] Chasing coins to fill the purse Is it really better or for worse Is it a blessing or a curse to pass the buck Is it a bounty or a bust Is it precious metal or just rust Well it seems it’s up to us [Post-Chorus] So wish us luck [Instrumental Outro]
