Lyrics Broken Bells – The Ghost Inside

She sold her love to a modern man
Good solid currency’s the hardest to land
All of that money helps you cover your ass
Don’t let the ladyfinger blow in your hands

For that dollar
She’s a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside

Just Like a whiskey bottle drained on the floor
She got no future just a life to endure
This good samaritan is shakin’ her hand
Too late to leave here now the songs in the can
Give it up

For that dollar
She’s a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside

You call it chivalry
Never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder why they had to move on?
This phony honor code
That put you on your throne
A double standard you invoke when you want

For that dollar
She’s a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside

Was it all for show?
Don’t turn into one of them
