Monday morning, coffee in my hand Saw a little green across the land Yeah, Monday morning, coffee black and hot Felt like a genius with the stock I'd bought That upward trend, a sweet and gentle hum Forgot about the losses I'd succumbed Oh, the market's a lover with a heart of ice Makes you feel lucky, then it makes you pay the price Lifts you to the clouds just to watch you fall alone Got them Friday closing bell, ticker tape blues down to the bone
Wednesday came around, the news was lookin' grim My little paper profit was wearin' mighty thin Yeah, Wednesday came and painted the whole screen red Filled my weary mind with nothin' but dread Every point it dropped was a promise it broke A slow-burn heartbreak with every word they spoke Oh, the market's a lover with a heart of ice Makes you feel lucky, then it makes you pay the price Lifts you to the clouds just to watch you fall alone Got them Friday closing bell, ticker tape blues down to the bone
Thirty years I've watched this river flow Seen the bulls run wild and the bears lay 'em low I should be smarter, I should be numb and cold But every time it moves, my poor heart is sold Then Friday afternoon, a whisper of a chance A last-minute rally, a final, hopeful dance Yeah, Friday at the bell, a miracle in sight Clawed back half a percent with all of its might But I ain't celebrating, I ain't pourin' no wine 'Cause I know that luck was never truly mine
Oh, the market's a lover with a heart of ice Makes you feel lucky, then it makes you pay the price Lifts you to the clouds just to watch you fall alone Got them Friday closing bell, ticker tape blues down to the bone
