Wallet thick in the morning light
By sunset it's an empty sight
Late-night dreams of gold and fame
By dawn they vanish just the same
Money's like a ghost my dear
Appears then poof it's outta here
Chase it down can't hold it near
It's a fleeting kind of cheer
Bank account was flush at noon
By evening it's a hollow tune
Dollar bills just slip away
Like sand that won't stay when you play
Money's like a ghost my dear
Appears then poof it's outta here
Chase it down can't hold it near
It's a fleeting kind of cheer
Credit card is feeling light
In the blink it's out of sight
Riches fade while dreams ignite
Morning brings the harsh daylight
Money's like a ghost my dear
Appears then poof it's outta here
Chase it down can't hold it near
It's a fleeting kind of cheer
