No coins

Eye of newt, ear of frog
Water from a hollow log
A bitch's brew like consommé
Clear and cool on summer day

You still can't make a purse of silk
From sows ear or pick up spilt milk
So why not be just who you are
Accept the fact that you're no star

No princess, just a dreamer who
Accepts no responsibility for what you do
It's all his fault, you whine and moan
Your excuses make me squirm and groan

Accept from suitors gifts expensive
Then dump them when they become pensive
Flit like butterfly all day
Then cry when we no longer play

Deep in the pit you've thrown us in
We dance around the garbage bin
Reciting lies you've told to us
Draw straws to see who drives the bus

To Hell you'll go with eyes wide open
No coins to use for Morpheus' token
To burn forever in the flames
Reciting all these hundred names
