Same Coin

from Mystery Hits by Lo Carmen

/

lyrics

If we're the same coin
How can we meet
We must pay together for actions so sweet
If we're the same coin
We're paying for the same show
Or rolling down streets with nowhere to go
Or gathering dust
Or gathering dew
Or lit by the jukebox in nights so untrue
If we're the same coin
We can't never see
the face that you know
Ain't the one facing me

There's your side but mine
Is the one that is true
Left in jeans on the floor
That stain my room blue
The things you can't buy
The things you cant lose
Swapping pennies for highs
And silver for blues

If we're the same coin
We're in the same pocket
Jingling like lovers
Until we must cop it

Cut from the same cloth
Poured from the same kettle
Sometimes we listen
To country or metal

There's your side but mine
Is the one that is true
Left in jeans on the floor
That stain my room blue
The things you can't buy
The things you cant lose
Swapping pennies for highs
And silver for blue

And when times are hard
Gold shines so bright
It'll get you through a door
And through a long hard night
And silver's the difference between calling your name
And looking for trouble
To keep out the rain
And the same coin's the one
That spins in the sun
And pays twice for your stolen blues

So silvery small
Coppery dull
Its slips in your pocket
To pay for what you done
