The Bite of the Bill

Verse 1

Rent just doubled on the shop downstairs

Flat pockets

The paper slips right through my fingers

Hard luck hiding under messy hair

Pre-Chorus

Empty shelves and empty palms

Waiting for the quiet

Hoping for the calm

Chorus

Cost of living bite

The cost of living bite

It's sinking deep

A mountain way too steep

It takes your morning

It takes your night

Cost of living bite

Cost of living bite

Verse 2

Staring at a basket of green beans

Wishing I could win

Searching for a better view or means

Thin wire snapped between the scenes

Pre-Chorus

Empty shelves and empty palms

Waiting for the quiet

Hoping for the calm

Chorus

Cost of living bite

The cost of living bite

It's sinking deep

A mountain way too steep

It takes your morning

It takes your night

Cost of living bite

Cost of living bite

Bridge

Pennies on the dresser

Weight is getting dresser

Can't afford the stresser

Chorus

Cost of living bite

The cost of living bite

It's sinking deep

A mountain way too steep

It takes your morning

It takes your night

Cost of living bite

Cost of living bite
