Kept my distance like loose change
The kind I'd gladly give away
You tossed the coin and called for it
I lost the bet, I lost the bet
Got a dime for every thought of you
A Trojan's treasure in my head
I'm none the richer, none the wiser, nowhere closer
I'm still in debt
No fortune follows me
What a pretty penniless dream
No fortune follows me
What a pretty penniless dream I'm in
I could forget, could recollect
Save my say for a rainy day
But I am spent, both my arms bent
I've got nothing left
No fortune follows me
What a pretty penniless dream
No fortune follows me
What a pretty penniless dream I'm in
The secret is out
I'm losing you
Kept my distance like loose change
The kind I'd gladly give away
You tossed the coin and called for it
I lost the bet, I lost the bet
