Football Money

In a city of handsome dads
 One distant wife is making plans for the future
 She rings like a bell, dinner is done by the spring
 Digital lover come back to me
 Where once I was blind now I see all too clearly
 Isn't it always the case? The child is the son of the uncle
 But they pay me to hit home runs they don't pay me to stand in the sun
 Chained in the basement job well done there'll be no whips today
 Football money
 The high school bully is downed
 When into town rides our hero on horseback
 Oh tattooed featherweight give up your gloves
 Hang them on the offbeat
 Nature will always see to it left alone things will move in circles
 So sign the contract kid, sign the contract Kiwi
 I wake up and go see Pa who tells me there's no work to do
 Milk in the icebox egg in the pan there'll be no whips for you
 The keeper finds his groove, the outstretched hands approve
 Everything has been smoothed over
 Dailys on repeat, he's solid on his feet
 And everyone who speaks has spoken
 Football money
