'CAUSE CHEAP IS HOW I FEEL
Written by M. Timmins and The Cowboy Junkies,
From the album Caution Horses
Submitted and transcribed in June 1998

It's the kinda night that's so cold, when you spit
it freezes before it hits the ground.
And when a bum asks for a quarter, you give a dollar,
'cuz if he's out tonight, he must be truly down.
And I'm searchin' all the windows for a last minute present
to prove to you that what I said was real...
For something small and frail and plastic, baby
Cause cheap is how I feel.
Half a moon in the sky tonight- broad enough
to come up with an answer
to the question why is it that every time I see you
my love grows a little stronger.
But your memory leaves my stomach turning,
feeling like a liar about to be revealed...
But I hoard all this to myself,
Cause cheap is how I feel.
(Guitar Solo)
It's not the smell in here that really gets to me, it's the lights-
How I hate the shadows that they cast.
And the sound of clinking bottles is the one sure thing
I'll always drag with me from my past.
I think I'll find a pair of eyes tonight to fall into
and maybe strike a deal:
Your body for my soul, fair swap,
Cause cheap is how I feel.
