Finds its way back to the big house where it lives all alone
Money talks to me, oh yeah, lays it on the line
Just making some deals, what a bitch
I used to show some emotion
Give words of quiet assurance to an otherwise healthy victim
Then I will devour it, I can't go without it
I thought I was rich, oh yeah
Money goes to money, yes it always returns
Wraithlike silent partners, operators of the system
I had rising stock so I got more pockets
Gives me everything I want, oh yeah
I had the resources, but then, oh no
I knew where to stick it where no one could nick it
Money talks to me, it whispers in my ear
I would swing in the trees and I'd swim in the ocean
I kinda went private and then, aha
Too much food on my plate but there's guards at the gate
Such sweet seclusion, no more intrusion
Oh, it's all coming back to me
Wasn't to blame, I feel no shame
Gives me everything I want, everything I want
Such joy I could almost die of it, yeah
Gives me everything I want, everything I want
The structure was shaking, was there for the taking
Greasing my palm and doing no harm
It's simply a question of market forces
Someone outbid me, I can't take it with me?
Oh, gives me everything I want, everything I want
Money talks to me, laughs right in my face
Money talks to me yeah, whispers in my ear
Such sweet seduction, I could feel the suction
