There, there
There, there goes another penny in your porcelain pig
There, there's another race you try to rig
I was your piggy bank. I was saving up for you,
But that only works if you wanna save yourself, too
There, there
You aren't going no where
There, there
We aren't going no where
Where, where did your coins change shade?
Did ya think it's not fair, fair your pennies gotta age?
But copper always turns green, that's what aging begets
And so we sit there, aging too, racking up our debt
There, there
You arent going no where
There, there
We arent going no where
Love goes in cycles,
Once you start, you stay the same
But ain't it nice to know well never change
(Cause I ate your change)
There, there
Your pennies are pointless, they just keep adding up
And it takes so long to count out one buck
I've got these pennies for you thoughts, but I wish I didnt know 'em
Because with each clink in my belly, I hear every wish you've forgotten
There, there
We aren't going no where
There, there
We Aren't going no where
There, there
I was saving up for you
There, there
But you've got to want to save yourself too
(Why wont you save yourself too?)
There, there
So there.

Yes, Siobhan knows there is a Radiohead song with the same title.
She didn't know that until after she finished this song. Ah, well.
Originality is dead in this world, anyways. September 2003.
