Lyrics:Dime

by Cake

In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf Is a small reminder of a simpler time When a crumpled up pair of trousers Lost a brand new dime Well you ask me how I made it through And how my mint condition could belong to you When I'm on the ground I roll through town I'm a president you don't remember Getting kicked around I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine I'm freshly minted I am determined Not to be dented by a car, by a plane Or anything not yet invented I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around There's a ringle jingle near the underpass There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage And roadside trash I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine I'm freshly minted I'm silver plated I'm underrated You wont even pick me up 'cause I'm not enough For a local phonecall I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine I'm a dime I'm fine And I shine
