Put The Money Down

I got lost in the back streets

Trying to get here tonight

The police were asking questions

They took me to the wrong place twice



I even lost my passport

And I forgot my name and town

But now I'm here by the water

Put the money down



Before I walk on the water

Put the money down, down, down

There are bands killing chickens

My hero's getting pushed around, 'round, 'round



I don't know if I trust you

As you try to shoot me down

Before I walk on the water

Put the money down, down, down

Put the money down



It was a beautiful day in Columbus

When the fences fell

But the five loaves and the fishes

Ain't going to be much help



I got a hungry juggler here

Who wants to be at the head

Before he walks the water

He wants his bread



Take a glass of that light brown ale

And a purple pill

If the air don't get you too

Sure as hell the pill will



Oh, mommy, mommy

Please may I go downtown?



He's gonna walk on the water

Put the money down, ooh, yeah, put it down



Before I walk on the water

Put the money down, down, down

There are bands killing chickens

My hero's getting pushed around, 'round, 'round



I don't know if I trust you

As you try to shoot me down

I'm gonna walk on the water

Put the money down, down, down, down, down



Put the money down in a tin cup

Put it down, put it down in a tin cup

Put it down, put the money down

Put it down, put it down
