Sarah Hughes Band - Thirty-Five Cents

Woke up in the morning and the sun was high
Stumbled to the shower, tried to justify
Half-way through, I started singing this lullaby
Once upon a time there was a man on the moon
He got arrested as he left the saloon
Sat down at the pokey 'til the end of June, they say
Somewhere in the middle gotta learn to bend a little
Gotta open your eyes and say…those words to me
And when you do, you surely won't regret
How it makes you feel, honey, I will bet
Thirty-five cents and a cigarette on you
The moon began to melt as the sun went by
The man broke out of jail, tried to hitch a ride
I went to the bar to watch the moon-man pass me by
The bar's been the same since I was seventeen
Half of it's for beer, the other side caffeine
Me, I play it safe and try to spend my time in-between
Somewhere in the middle gotta learn to bend a little
Gotta open your eyes and say…those words to me
And when you do, you surely won't regret
How it makes you feel, honey, I will bet
Thirty-five cents and a cigarette on you
Sleepin' ain't the same, so don't close your eyes
Loves to play the game, but there ain't no prize
Desire a womanizer, but you'll never be satisfied
The man caught a bittersweet ride to the moon
He ran into a woman with a hot-air balloon
Might make it home by the end of June, they say
Somewhere in the middle gotta learn to bend a little
Gotta open your eyes and say…those words to me
And when you do, you surely won't regret
How it makes you feel, honey, I will bet
Thirty-five cents and a cigarette on you
Thirty-five cents and a cigarette on you
Thirty-five cents and a cigarette on you
