Lyrics

Let me occupy your mind
Cause there’s no other place to be
Had to sleep on these psychic streets
When you foreclosed your heart on me

I’ve spent too much on speculation
Which brought us to this great recession
We had to file for chapter nine
Not so long ago

Let me occupy your mind
And reinstate some regulations
Tough enough to let me hold you tight
Loose enough to let you roll along.

And we will trade in full disclosure
Hold each other’s equities
There won’t be any obfuscation
When you invest your time on me

You see a hard, fall to the floor
But you gotta let me in through that door

I smell a deep-seated fear
That you won’t ever need to feel

When I go up there
I’m coming up there

Let me occupy your mind
And let’s get back to negotiation
My intentions are not sub-prime
Not a derivative of some kind

Our currency will be conversation
Funded by witty repartee [when you’ve got nothing to say to me]
So let me occupy your mind
And restore the balance on your sheets.
