Dollar Bill Lyrics by Screaming Trees

Sweet Oblivion (Expanded Edition)

1992

Torn like an old dollar bill
Girl, let them say what they will
That no one should hurt you
And that's all I seem to do
That no one should desert you
And that's all I seem to do

I got to tell you goodbye, mama
We've taken this too far
Been trying to tell you what's going on, yeah
Trying to make it easy on you
Trying to make it better, make it easier on you
It's all I came to do, oh
It's all I came to do, oh

Now I'm down in the light
And I must be dreaming it
'Cause I see clearly, I see angels here
Bringing something to me, Mother Mercy
I told a lie, I didn't mean it
Goodbye, mama, I've taken this too far
Been gone a while
Been gone a long way, oh yeah

I don't want to hurt you
It's all I seem to do
Don't want to desert you
It's all I seem to do
I got to tell you goodbye, mama
I've taken this too far
Been down a while
Been down a long way
Trying to make it easier on you
Trying to make it better
Make it easier on you
It's all I came to do, oh
It's all I came to do
It's all I came to do, oh, yes, oh
Been a long way
Been a long, long way
Ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah, oh
Torn like an old dollar bill
