Story behind the song
We were motivated by poverty. By the way, Sam died 36 hours after his solo in this song. RIP Sam!
Lyrics
Help me. I got a chain dragging under me. I’m under lock and key. Your need to squeeze the blood from a turnip seed. It ain’t where I wanna be. Flat broke, and you ain’t givin’ enough rope I gotta claw my way out of the hole. You dote like it’s some kind of joke. I sick and tired of playin’ out my role (Chorus) You gotta lay down the money. But the money ain’t there. You better lay down the money. But the money ain’t there. Sweet thing with an eye for a diamond ring. (1/2 for last verse) I got an eye on you. Cut free, if you want to stay next to me You gotta do what I want you to. No hope, just a pig in a poke. I think I’ll throw my love out to the wind. You lose, I’m pursuing my muse And I may never come back again.
