lyrics

Your hair is a shade of silver
Shiny silver
The color of age and experience
Patience and perspective
A sign of decline but it’s not over yet
Not when you know how to blow off regret

Your tongue is like polished silver
Shiny silver
Powerful words, musicality
Eloquent, persuasive
We drown in the sound of supply and demand
And you overwhelm us, exactly as planned

All available data says
You’re a master of appearances
Successful people make their own luck
You look and sound like a million bucks

Your pockets are full of silver
Shiny silver
The comforting jingle of currency
Squeaky clean and vested
The goal is control and you’re all over it
Certainly more than you’d ever admit

Shiny silver
Shiny silver
Shiny silver
