[Verse 1] Pawn-shop queen with a plastic crown, sold her luck just to get back downtown. I gave her love on a layaway plan, she took my change and she ran. [Chorus] Pennies on the dollar, babe, that’s all I got for you, a little bit of heart and a busted-up view. Dreamed in gold, woke up in rust, traded my soul for a tank of lust. [Verse 2] Motel sign flickers “VACANCY”, her lipstick ghost on the ceiling fan. I count my sins in nickels and dimes, the jukebox coughs out one last rhyme. [Outro] Pennies, pennies on the dollar, and a pocket full of smoke.
