Written by Sid Griffin and Steve Wynn
lyrics
Time to run, time to hide, the cost of living's costing me my pride
Call my name, call my number, losing sleep now is it any wonder
Hey ho, where does the money go when all the money's down the drain
It's the rate of exchange
Pounds to marks, a yen for buckage, knowin' all the while you're losing luggage
Got no pesos, got no guilders, empty pockets leaving me bewildered
Hey ho, where does the money go when all the money's down the drain
It's the rate of exchange
Bundesbank, World Trade Centre, their door is locked, please tell me how to enter
Calling Rome, calling Brussels, backstreet boys in pinstrip flexing muscle
Hey ho, where does the money go when all the money's down the drain
It's the rate of exchange
Call my name, call my number, losing sleep now is it any wonder
Hey ho, where does the money go when all the money's down the drain
It's the rate of exchange
Pounds to marks, a yen for buckage, knowin' all the while you're losing luggage
Got no pesos, got no guilders, empty pockets leaving me bewildered
Hey ho, where does the money go when all the money's down the drain
It's the rate of exchange
Bundesbank, World Trade Centre, their door is locked, please tell me how to enter
Calling Rome, calling Brussels, backstreet boys in pinstrip flexing muscle
Hey ho, where does the money go when all the money's down the drain
It's the rate of exchange

You bet make solo albums & perform singer-songwriter gigs, I’ve toured solo from London to Los Angeles to Sydney to Hong Kong to Helsinki too. Million Dollar Bash is my well-received book on The Basement Tapes and I've never met Dylan. ... more

This is equally gorgeous and rocking - just a wonderful set of songs and great performances and arrangements (and the guitar solos are perfect). As one who was only familiar with the Long Ryders music, coming across this is ear-opening...akin to hearing Gene Clark solo stuff at the first time and marveling how it equaled/bested the Byrds.
