Monday morning, coffee's black Screen is glowing, ain't no turnin' back Saw a little green, a hopeful spark Like a single candle in the dark Felt that little flutter in my chest Thought maybe this week would be the test Oh, the Dow Jones is a cruel, cruel lover Gives you sunshine then it runs for cover Takes your hand and leads you to the top Then lets you go and lets you drop It's the Friday closing bell blues again
Lost a little more than I can spend Tuesday's rally was a pretty sight Everything I owned was bathin' in light Felt like a genius, felt like a king Didn't wanna change a single thing But by Thursday noon, the sky turned grey My pretty little miracle just slipped away Oh, the Dow Jones is a cruel, cruel lover Gives you sunshine then it runs for cover Takes your hand and leads you to the top Then lets you go and lets you drop
It's the Friday closing bell blues again Lost a little more than I can spend Thirty years I've watched this screen The angriest red, the kindest green I should be hardened, I should be cold But every tick makes me feel less old And every fall, well it still cuts deep Secrets that a trading man has to keep Oh, the Dow Jones is a cruel, cruel lover Gives you sunshine then it runs for cover Takes your hand and leads you to the top
Then lets you go and lets you drop It's the Friday closing bell blues again Lost a little more than I can spend
