Lyric Pieces Of Eight

Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung

It s six o clock
Good morning sounds are everywhere
The warmth of spring, a gentle breeze blows through my hair

I hurry through my life never stopping to see
How beautiful it was meant to be

I m just a prisoner in a king s disguise
Broken dreams as we shuffle by

It s six o clock it s quitting time I m done for the day
Out on the streets I overheard a lady say
We now have everything or so people say
But now this emptiness haunts me every day
We seek the lion s share never knowing why
Come alive spread your wings and fly

Pieces of eight
The search for the money tree
Don t cash your freedoms in for gold
Pieces of eight
Can t buy you everything
Don t let it turn your heart to stone
