Woke up Monday, screen was glowing mean A sea of red, the cruelest I have seen That opening bell, it didn't make a dime Just stole my profit and a whole lot of my time I watched that line go down, down, down so low A heartbreak story everybody knows Oh, the ticker tape blues, they got a hold on me Every point it drops is a fresh new misery And if it climbs a little, well I know the score It's just a sweet little lie 'fore it asks for more
Yeah, the ticker tape blues, they cut me to the bone Leave a rich man crying and a poor man all alone By Wednesday noon, I saw a flash of green Pre-market futures, the prettiest I'd seen I let myself believe this time the trend would hold But that bull's a liar with a story getting old He took my hand and promised me the moon Then dropped me off a cliff by Thursday afternoon Oh, the ticker tape blues, they got a hold on me Every point it drops is a fresh new misery
And if it climbs a little, well I know the score It's just a sweet little lie 'fore it asks for more Yeah, the ticker tape blues, they cut me to the bone Leave a rich man crying and a poor man all alone Thirty years I've watched this digital tide Nowhere to run, nowhere left to hide Some folks get a yacht, some folks get the pain Me, I just get older, standing in the fiscal rain Friday comes a-knockin', with a miracle rebound The prettiest little rally in this whole damn town
But I ain't buying, no, I know that look in its eyes It's just setting me up for Monday's sad surprise Oh, the ticker tape blues, they got a hold on me Every point it drops is a fresh new misery And if it climbs a little, well I know the score It's just a sweet little lie 'fore it asks for more Yeah, the ticker tape blues, they cut me to the bone Leave a rich man crying and a poor man all alone
