The Songs That We Sing

I saw somebody who Reminded me of you Before you got afraid I wish that you could've stayed that way I saw a little girl I stopped and smiled at her She screamed and ran away It happens to me more and more these days And these songs that you sing Do they mean anything To the people you're singing them to People like you I saw a photograph A woman in a bath Of hundred dollar bills If the cold doesn't kill her, money will I read a magazine That said by seventeen Your life was at an end I'm dead and I'm perfectly content And these songs that you sing Do they mean anything To the people you're singing them to People like you And these songs that you sing Do they mean anything To the people you're singing them to People like you
