Pyrite Promises Lyrics
Ooh listen to those fingers tap
Nervous child dreams hanging in the balance
All for the gain of the wallet of the fat man
I don’t want to be that man
Cause I’ll stand with my pride in my pocket
But I won’t wait long enough for them to knock it down
Ooh listen to those fingers tap
Forty days and forty nights 'til I get where I’m going
A hundred stairs a million flights
But I won’t trade a silver plate for some pyrite promise
If it ain’t real, it ain’t worth my time
And to the royalty incumbent
Perhaps I’m just a number
But even as a number with a value undiscovered
I’m not sold by your royalty at all, oh no
Forty days and forty nights 'til I get where I’m going
A hundred stairs a million flights
But I won’t trade a silver plate for some pyrite promise
If it ain’t real, it ain’t worth my time
Ain’t worth my…
Forty days and forty nights 'til I get where I’m going
A hundred stairs a million flights
But I won’t trade a silver plate for some pyrite promise
If it ain’t real, it ain’t worth my time
Nervous child dreams hanging in the balance
All for the gain of the wallet of the fat man
I don’t want to be that man
Cause I’ll stand with my pride in my pocket
But I won’t wait long enough for them to knock it down
Ooh listen to those fingers tap
A hundred stairs a million flights
But I won’t trade a silver plate for some pyrite promise
If it ain’t real, it ain’t worth my time
Perhaps I’m just a number
But even as a number with a value undiscovered
I’m not sold by your royalty at all, oh no
A hundred stairs a million flights
But I won’t trade a silver plate for some pyrite promise
If it ain’t real, it ain’t worth my time
A hundred stairs a million flights
But I won’t trade a silver plate for some pyrite promise
If it ain’t real, it ain’t worth my time
