Now they're combing for pennies in the old cobblestones

Those carnival kids, man they never go home

Oh and the fortune lady's the only one

And old madam haggard is cleaning the clocks

While the paperboy's combing his nickels for rocks

Coyote's in the car with the motor running loud

Yeah the stars were all hiding when Mercury's out
