My Love Is Not For Sale - Dan Bern
My clothes and my windshield wipers and a locket of my hair Everything is for sale My rifle and my boots and my instant coffee maker That poem 'bout the moon over Switzerland My flowers and my walkie-talkie All the liquid in my body I'll set a price and post it to your e-mail But my love, my love is not for sale I could sell my pictures on the streets of Barcelona Women 30 minutes at a time New York City subway, 3 songs for a dollar Or maybe just a chorus for a dime The newspaper on the street The sky reflecting at my feet It's all been bottled, packaged, drawn to scale But my love, my love is not for sale Take just a minute of your day Tell me one thing that you would live for Dying, dying's easy, getting easier all the time Tell me one thing not to throw it all away for I'll sell you the morning and I'll sell you the night I'll sell you the river and move along I'll sell you the balconies, I'll sell you the sidewalks And all the shuttered windows of Bresson I'll sell you the moon, I'll sell you the stars And the forests with the lonesome wolfhound's wail But my love, my love My love is not for sale SUICIDE BOMB This is the last song I will ever write I'll plug my ears and cover up my eyes to mask my sight I'm killing off my instincts after 2,000 songs I'm getting with the program, now I'm gonna play along This is my songwriting suicide bomb This is my songwriting suicide bomb I can't compete with blowing up yourself on a bus Killing one of you and 19 of us Flying hi-jacked airplanes so thousands will die But I can kill too and blacken out the sky This is my songwriting suicide bomb This is my songwriting suicide bomb This is the last song I will ever write The last blank page my pen will ever blight Abandoning the fight, I'm pulling off the gloves No
