Talking Jukebox

[Verse 1]

I'm just a jukebox standing in a joint

I'm all lit up with pretty colored lights

I'm a bum, I'm a beggar for nickels and dimes

But I'm your millionaire a thousand times

[Verse 2]

I watch you come in here, come through the door

I watch you take a drink or three or four

Then I wink at you with my electric eyes

Carry you away to paradise

[Chorus 1]

I'm a two, I'm a four, I'm a twelve bar beater

I'm partly honest, I'm partly a cheater

There's a million human skulls in here fighting a war

Now let me tell you what they're fighting for

[Verse 3]

To look at these old, steel lights and holes

You might not think I got a soul

But the workers that worked hard to bring mе to life

Want me to tell thе secrets of your life

[Chorus 1]

I'm a two, I'm a four, I'm a twelve bar beater

I'm partly honest, I'm partly a cheater

There's a million human skulls in here fighting a war

Now let me tell you what they're fighting for

[Verse 4]

I got a waxy voice and a mechanical brain

Look in these eyes, am I insane?

I haven't found my real voice yet

But your stories and your history, I'll never forget

[Bridge]

And I mean your personal history, 'cause I know all about you

I know every step you ever took, every book you never read

Every hand you ever held, every kiss you ever stole

Every job you ever lost

Every single, solitary penny that you've cheated who out of

Who'd have ever believed that one of these days or nights

You'd put a nickel in me and hear every single truth about yourself?

[Chorus 1]

'Cause I'm a two, I'm a four, I'm a twelve bar beater

I'm partly honest, I'm partly a cheater

There's a million human skulls in here fighting a war

Now let me tell you what we're fighting for

[Chorus 2]

I'm a four, I'm a six, I'm a eight bar hitter

Feed me the nickels, I ain't no quitter

There's a million human skulls in here fighting a war

Now let me tell you what they're fighting for

[Outro]

For a better what, better people?

House, car, ship, plane, business?

Maybe so
