Ponzi Scheme

Lost my sunbeam
In a Ponzi scheme
Don’t ask me how that works

And now every time I walk around
In town I see the smirks
She was a willowy girl
With a toothy grin
I was a hopeful man
I took it on the chin

Lost my sunbeam
In a Ponzi scheme
Don’t ask me how that works

Should have read the fine print
Devil’s in the details
I’m really not a fine-print guy

She threw a perfect pitch
Pulled a bait-and-switch
Maybe I turned a blind eye
Truth or dare, man, buyer beware
And I’m sorry ‘bout the whole big
Sordid affair

Should have read the fine print
Devil’s in the details
I’m really not a fine-print guy

Hey, hey, what did you say
No, no, it didn’t happen that way
I was good to her
She’s the one in the wrong here
I got the run around
Took my love and everything
That wasn’t bolted down

Rust and rubber
Hard concrete
That’s the view from under the bus

Just because she said it
Well, that did not make it thus
She’s a confident girl
In a confidence game
I am all the worse
And none the same

Rust and rubber
Hard concrete
That’s the view from under the bus

Lost my sunbeam
In a ponzi scheme
Don’t ask me how that works
