Long Division - Muscovy

D
Gutter
There's a pain in my heart
As it pumps blood through my veinsso flows a little shame
I'll pull back on the reins a bit
Cause on the flip there's a manwith his aluminum canin an old wheelchair he sits
I flip a coin into the wishing well
I stop to wish him well
There was hope once for us bothas our long division growsfailure upon failure made one mountain and one stonespray for my friend tonightbecause poor isn't that far from your middle class linelong division takes it's time
There's too much daylight betweenall our pockets and our dreamsso when you reach into your pocketreach down further than the seamsto the leg that you could kneel downand beg upon
One day a princeand the next day a vagabond
I flip a coin into a wishing wellthis one's for you
Chorus the depths of a manwith water in his handis shallower than sandif it's water he doesn't sharethis world's a low tide beach of lies and deceitsome go hungry and some eatsome are stupid and some teach
I flip a fist full of coins into a wishing wellnow there is hope for us all
