'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel

It's the kind of night that's so cold when you spit

It freezes before it hits the ground

And when a bum asks for a quarter, you give a dollar

If he's out tonight, he must be truly down

And I'm searching all the windows for a last minute present

To prove to you what

I said was real

For something small and frail, and plastic, baby'

Cause cheap is how

I feelHalf a moon in the sky tonight is bright enough

To come up with an answer

To the question, why is it that every time

I see youMy love grows a little stronger?

But your memory leaves my stomach churnin'

Feelin' like a lie about to be revealed

But I'll horde all this to myself'

Cause cheap is how

I feelIt's not the smell in here that gets to me, it's the lights

I hate the shadows that they cast

And the sound of clinking bottles is the one sure thing

I'll always drag with me from my past

I think I'll find a pair of eyes tonight to fall into

And maybe strike a deal

Your body for my soul, fair swap'

Cause cheap is how

I feel
