My money is my life, a relentless chase, i work day and night, but it's never in place. How cold is this currency, slipping from sight, fleeting and elusive, no matter how tight. I hate money's game, its cold, distant call, no matter my efforts, it eludes my thrall. I chase it through shadows, through dreams and through pain, yet it keeps running off, like a thief in the rain. Help me catch this phantom, this slippery guise, so it won't vanish, and leave me with lies. In my quest for its presence, I yearn for the day when money stays close and will no longer stray.

Chasing Shadows
My money is my life, a relentless chase, i work day and night, but it's never in place. How cold is this currency, slipping from sight, fleeting and elusive, no matter how tight. I hate money's game, its cold, distant call, no matter my efforts, it eludes my thrall. I chase it through shadows, through dreams and through pain, yet it keeps running off, like a thief in the rain. Help me catch this phantom, this slippery guise, so it won't vanish, and leave me with lies. In my quest for its presence, I yearn for the day when money stays close and will no longer stray.
