`Cause cheap is how I feel — текст песни (cowboy junkies)

It`s the kind of night that`s so cold, when you spit
it freezes before it hits the ground
And when a bum asks you for a quarter, you give a dollar
if he`s out tonight he must be truly down
And I`m searching all the windows for a last minute present
to prove to you that what I said was real,
for something small and frail and plastic, baby,
`cause cheap is how I feel

Half moon in the sky tonight, bright enough
to come up with an answer
to the question why is it that every time I see you
my love grows a little stronger
But your memory leaves my stomach churning,
feeling like a lie about to be revealed,
but I`ll horde all this to myself
`cause cheap is how I feel

It`s not the smell in here that gets to me it`s the lights
I hate the shadows that they cast,
and the sound of clinking bottles is the one sure thing
I`ll always drag with me from my past
I think I`ll find a pair of eyes tonight, to fall into
and maybe strike a deal
Your body for my soul, fair swap
`cause cheap is how I feel
