Broke

Jingle, jangle, pocketful of metal Johnny's in the basement, hooking up the kettle Thinking to himself, "I guess I gotta settle for less" He's a mess Jenny, Jenny, a plastic bag of pennies Roll 'em in brown paper, turn 'em into 20 Walking to the bank, she's knocking, "Is there anybody here? Have I made myself clear?" I'm broke, I know I'm broke But I'm not broken I'm broke, I know I'm broke But I'm not broken Charlene, Charlene, everybody's darling High on something heavy, she's flying like a starling Coming down the stairs, she's tripping through a chemistry class Life's a blast Billy's down from Sydney and damn, he's looking handsome Stumbling down Portland, holding it for ransom If you got a loonie, he'll tell you the dirtiest joke "Hey man, can I bum a smoke?" I'm broke, I know I'm broke But I'm not broken I'm broke, I know I'm broke But I'm not broken I'm broke, I know I'm broke But I'm not broken You never see the wound, you only see the scar Were we landing on the moon or standing at the bar? It's four in the morning, I don't know where I am or who you are Last chance landlord, renting out a closet Picking up the weekly, making the deposit Walking from the bank while we're headed for the National Exchange All this world is strange Broke, I know I'm broke But I'm not broken I'm broke, I know I'm broke But I'm not broken I'm broke, I know I'm broke But I'm not broken I'm broke, I know I'm broke But I'm not broken
