Dollar Signs In Her Eyes lyrics

Song information

Artist: The Dead Milkmen
Album: Metaphysical Grafitti

Lyrics

She's tripping over the flowers in her garden
The weeds are growin' high
She dropped her laundry off at school
And hung her children on her clothesline to dry

She's throwing trash in her swimmin' pool
She's pouring chlorine on her lawn
You might think she needs a pair of glasses
But, no, my friend you're wrong

She cannot see the beauty in a tree
Or in the life that it supplies
This should not strike you as a mystery
For she has dollar signs in her eyes
She has dollar signs in her eyes (x2)
Dollar signs in her eyes

She's crashin' her car in an intersection
She did not see the light
She's walkin' round and round in a shoppin' mall
As if she had no sight

Dreams are only clouds
That form and dissipate
The sky is a highway for metal birds
And land is real estate

She does not understand her world depends
Upon a history of lies
She walks right by all her old high school friends
For she has dollar signs in her eyes
She has dollar signs in her eyes (x2)
Dollar signs in her eyes
