Moved to the city to settle a vendetta Ran from a stellar to the hands of Isabella Was a good earner, got a little butter Moved to Calcutta, got rich by the summer Learned that an eye for an eye made the whole world blind City by city, they built sin city Mr. Benjamin must have got or needs a schilling 'Cuz he'd rather not walk in the gobs from the prison And there ain't nowhere this lonely road This lonely road won't go What pleases your heart It's not always what eases your spirit or your soul For a dollar, will you heal she? For a dollar, will you feed he? For a dollar, would you mind explaining to me why today got bought by tomorrow? For a dollar, will you hold me? For a dollar, will you love me? For a dollar, would you mind explaining to me why today got bought by tomorrow?
