All That Money Wants Lyrics
city sky comes down like rain
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear footsteps getting louder
drowning in my sleep
painted lies on painted lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
i don't believe that i believed in you
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
sunday's child will fall through faith
i feel i'm falling out of grace
grey city sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps see their faces
but it all means nothing to me now
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
city sky comes down like rain
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear her footsteps getting louder
i'm drowning in my sleep
painted lies on broken lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
came home pushed and full of pins
sunday's child will fall through faith
i feel i'm falling out of grace
i see the sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps icy faces
but it all means nothing to me
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear footsteps getting louder
drowning in my sleep
painted lies on painted lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
i don't believe that i believed in you
all that money wants
all that money wants
i feel i'm falling out of grace
grey city sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps see their faces
but it all means nothing to me now
all that money wants
all that money wants
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear her footsteps getting louder
i'm drowning in my sleep
painted lies on broken lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
came home pushed and full of pins
i feel i'm falling out of grace
i see the sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps icy faces
but it all means nothing to me
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants

Can't believe no one has tried to decipher this...such beautiful lyrics. Well..I'll give it a shot. Knowing that this came after their "Midnight to Midnight" album which they complained was "rushed" by the record company and way too over-produced, etc...I am guessing that it's an angry railing against the money dominated culture that forced them into that position.
"but it all means nothing to me all that money wants"
I'm sure someone more brilliant than I can give this a better go...
@Shatter Yeah. At first glance it seems like it's pro money. "All that money wants" but he's actually using the word want not as in "desire" but rather as "in lacking". All that money leaves you still in the state of lacking.

"painted lies on painted lips" ... "I don't believe that I believed in you"
Great lyrics
