Cake - Dime

Dime

In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
When Imon the ground I roll through town
Ima president you dont remember getting kicked around
Ima dime
Imfine
And I shine Imfreshly minted
Imdetermined not to be dented
By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented
Ima dime
Imfine
And I shine
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
As the afternoon commuters dri have the ir cars around
There is a ringle jingle near the underpass
There is a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
Ima dime
Imfine
And I shine Imfreshly minted
Imsilver-plated Imunderrated
You wont even pick me up because Imnot enough for a local phone call
Ima dime
Imfine
And I shine
Ima dime
Imfine
And I shine
Ima dime
Imfine
And I shine
