Buy yourself a one way ticket
Tell them all to go play in traffic
Buy yourself a peaceful day
Figure out what you should say
And go all out to be happy
Just get up and leave.

Buy yourself a New York Taxi
Tell them all, "Get away from me!"
Buy yourself a new attitude
With a top hat and a gun just to suite you
And go all out to look okay
Boy, you better watch what you say!

Buy yourself a happy heart
Tell them all to break apart.
Buy yourself a little while
Just to fix that heartless smile.
And you sit and you wait
For the next to call you Fake...

buy yourself a little time
cost is nothing more than rhyme
until pocket's lost its dime
and age
and weather
wither
shine
