A late night deposit
  from my spirit to my soul

A transfer without interest
  all currency stole

The bank’s main door won’t open,
  the drive-thru is dark

The side door unlocked
  with the hallway unmarked

The clerk’s eyes on fire,
  as she asks me my name

“It’s there on the check”
  I repeat in refrain

“Your last transaction I see,
  we’ll be losing you now

“This account to be closed
  —take the elevator down”
