• Lay Your Money Down - Tora Tora

Put your cards on the table
Gotta lay your money down
Show your heart if you're able
Gotta lay your money down
I've waited long enough
This time I'm gonna call your bluff
And see what you got
And what you been keepin' from me
Girl if you really mean it
Put your lovin' on the line
'cause if I've never seen it
How 'm I gonna know it's mine
Baby I'm through...
With nothin' but talk from you
Gotta lay your money down
All these moves you been makin'
Like a game of keep away
I've had all I'm a-takin'
It's catchin' up to you today
'cause baby I'm through...
With nothin' but talk from you

Come
Lay
Your
Money
Down
Constant
Wave
Of sound
This is not necessary
This is not ordinary
This is my last confession
This is for my own protection now
Come lay your money down
Sick of this, i'm
Sick of hurt and
Shame is such a dirty word
Strung
Out
And
Falling down
This is not necessary
This is not ordinary
This is my last confession
This is for my own protection now
Come lay your money down
Sick of this, i'm
Sick of hurt and
Shame is such a dirty word
It's a dirty word...
We have no leader now
Punch the ballot
For the talking heads they sold
Like the cars, the pills, the booze, and the soap that cleans your soul
The tv reality shows you what's a stake
So cry like you mean it till the next commercial break.
And consider yourself for the wealth and consumption.
Me you say, i'm no spectator at the revolution.

So I asked the landlady,
'Do you really think I'm crazy,
Spending my time in here,
Drinking down you watery beer ?'.
Then she said that 'Life's too short
To spend your time wrapped in worried thought.
Oh come on and drink up dear.
And lay your money down,
And lay your money down'.
But I said 'Well there must be more'
When some man said he fought in the war
For me and I was ungrateful
He said 'Gimme another drink Mable
For all those good times then'.
And Mable said 'You can say that again'.
And they did 'till they were unable.
They laid their money down,
They just laid their money down.
Come on and lay your money down
Come on and lay your money down.
Oh then in the following silence
I tried very hard to make sense.
Of the things that the man did say
When he turned and quickly walked away.
All he said was 'Time is money, Oh I've got to go now'
and I thought
'That's funny did he really risk his life for me ?'
Or just lay his money down,

Poor old man came from Mississippi
Nothin'on his mind but a cheap fifth of whiskey
Playin' his guitar, got into the city
Workin' on the streets just to make a living
Well he could sing those coffee house blues
Mississippi John made it look so easy
Cigarette behind his ear
His eye are lookin' misty
Really let go when the bottle's half empty
Singing it loud, his voice is kinda gritty
He knows he's got nothin' to prove
He spends his time playin' in the city
Won't you lay your money down
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
Won't you lay your money down
Everybody said he'd be better off leavin'
And he knew in his heart
That he better start believing
Better use the talent
That the good lord gave him
To get out of this place
He don't need a good reason
He's giving heart and soul to you
He spends his time playin' in the city
Won't you lay your money down
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
Won't you lay your money down
Look downtown see the man on the corner
Working so hard just get a dollar
People walk my want to call him a beggar
Don't want too much
He's just taking what they offer
Well he's playing each note for you
Well he spends his time playin' in the city
Won't you lay your money down
Watchful eyes for someone who will listen
