Put the Money Down

I got lost in the back streets, trying to get here tonight The police were asking questions, they took me to the wrong place twice I even lost my passport, and I forgot my name and town But now I'm here by the water, put the money down Before I walk on the water Put the money down, down, down There are bands killing chickens My hero's getting pushed around, 'round, 'round I don't know if I trust you as you try to shoot me down Before I walk on the water Put the money down, down, down Put the money down It was a beautiful day in Columbus when the fences fell But the five loaves and the fishes ain't going to be much help I got a hungry juggler here who wants to be at the head Before he walks the water he wants his bread Take a glass of that light brown ale and a purple pill If the air don't get you too sure as hell the pill will Oh, mommy, mommy, please may I go downtown? He's gonna walk on the water Put the money down Put it down, before I walk on the water Put the money down, down, down There are bands killing chickens My hero's getting pushed around, round, round I don't know if I trust you as you try to shoot me down I'm gonna walk on the water Put the money down, down, down, down, down Put the money down In a tin cup
