Regina Spektor - Coin

I gave a coin to a shaman

He showed me a vision so bright

I was so glad to have seen it all

But I awoke with a fright

So I gave a coin to a scientist

Who showed me which number I was

Told me the order of things to come

But I forgot what it was

So I gave a coin to a president

He sent me to fight in his war

I still don't know who won, who lost

I still don't know what it was for

Just lock all the doors

And get down on the floor

They'll be coming for more

Always coming for more

So I gave my next coin to a baby

He took it to put in his mouth

Swallowed it whole, then started to crawl

I knew he wouldn't remember me at all

When he grew up

And took a look at the world

When he grew up

And had nothing to hold

When he grew up

And saw it's my fault

So I took my last coin and I gave it to you

You smiled and said, "Oh, you shouldn't have"

But your eyes spoke louder than your mouth

Your eyes said, "Thank you", your eyes said, "Love"

Love is enough

Of a reason to stay

Love is enough

Of a reason to stay

Love is enough
