Dead Milkmen Dollar Signs In Her Eyes
She's been tripping over the flowers in her garden The weeds are growing high She dropped her laundry off at school And hung her children on the clothesline to dry She's throwing trash in her simming pool She's pouring chlorine on her lawn You might think she needs a pair of glasses But, no, my friend you're wrong She cannot see the beauty in a tree Or in the life that it supplies This should not strike you as a mystery For she has dollar signs in her eyes She's crashing her car in an intersection She did not see the light She's walking round and round in a shopping mall As if she had no sight Dreams are only clouds That form and dissipate The sky is a highway for metal birds And land is real estate She does not understand her world depends Upon a history of lies She walks right by all her old high school friends For she has dollar signs in her eyes --------------------------------------------------------
