lyrics

1. Sitting here under the blue sky-light, just shooting the breeze.
Feeling cold water on my toes waiting for my brain to freeze.

The weather it was sunny and bright...the mood was feeling fine.
I can't get over what she said. She's talking about nickels and dimes.

chorus:
Nickels and dimes, they blow my mind.
They kicked us out at eight.
How can we tell all our friends we've got to close the garden gate?
Nickels and dimes, it takes up time.
There's nothing left to do....and I blame it squarely all on you.

(instrumental)
(chorus)

Bridge:
You gotta pay some more, boy. I guess our time is up.
Always the same line...nickels and dimes.

2. Still waiting, still dreaming. I guess we're out of luck.
A little here, a little there. It's nibbles to death by ducks.

Everybody quits now, even the band.

(chorus)
