The New Pornographers - Play Money Lyrics

I only play for money, honey
Look at what this fun has done to me
It has me gunning for the country
Sky's memory and moonless
Vision copied from the bootlegs
We are out of tune so mostly tuneless

For a fee I'll fight any foe
For a fee I'll take any dough

I only play it cool and bruising
But only when my lips are moving
You've been careful here to keep the tempo
Only play with money, careful
Not to trigger some reversal

For a fee I'll fight any foe
For a fee I'll stop any show

I know, having all you to get this right
Having all you to climb these heights
Having all you's pay per view
[?]

I beat the path of least resistance
Over the hills and out of wisdom
And just when I thought we beat the system
I knew a gentleman of leisure
He loved to talk about his treasure
And of how he got it for a song, song, song, song

For a fee I'll right any wrong
For a fee I'll right any wrong
For a fee I'll fight any foe
For a fee I'll stop any show

I know, having all you to get this right
Having all you to climb these heights
Having all you's pay per view
[?]
Having all you to get this right
Having all you to climb these heights
Having all you's pay per view
[?]

Only live for happy endings
Stop them like we started
Pardon my affinity for closing clueless
Never been an opportunist
I accept the prize if I somehow surprise us all and get there soonest

I only play for money, honey
I only play with money, honey
I only play with money, honey
I only play with money, honey

The song (the song)
