Lyrics for Verse 1
An easy operator on the side of the road
A million dollar man in a lower-class home
Chopping trees for needs of a spiritual kind
Forever getting low while he tried to be high
He was an early morning eagle flying through from the fire
Barely getting over forget getting by
But it's all the same to Billy Kincaid
If he had to do it over he would do it the same

Lyrics for Verse 2
Polly and her pity wasn't pretty at all
She concentrated fully on the shine of the star
But your pennies, just a pension
She never let go
They always dominated everything that she owned
She couldn't stop to see, she didn't have the time
How could she afford to pay attention to life?
Oh it's all the same for Polly the Vain
If she had to do it over she would do it the same

Lyrics for entire song:
An easy operator on the side of the road
A million dollar man in a lower class home
Chopping trees for needs of a spiritual kind
Forever getting low while he try to be high
He was an early morning eagle, lion flew from a fire
Barely getting over forget getting by
But its all the same to Billy Kincaid
If he had to do it over, he would do it the same
He was, living in the end
He was, living in the end
Now Polly and her pity wasn't pretty at all
She concentrated fully on the shine of a star
Pinching pennies just to pinch them, she never let go
They always dominated everything that she owned
She couldn't stop to say she didn't have the time
Well how could she afford to pay attention to life?
Now its all the same, for Polly the Vain
If she had to do it over, she would do it the same
She was, living in the end
She was, living in the end
Are you alright darling, alright now?
You'll never be, never be the same
Are you alright darling, alright now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever want to see some change?
He didn't see it coming, that's the tale of his life
The easy operator laid to rest in the night
He had to take the hit, it's always the same
And that's the way she see it, killing Billy Kincaid
That's the way she see it, killing Billy Kincaid
Are you alright darling, alright now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever want to see some change?
Are you alright darling, alright now?
Don't you ever wanna, ever want to see some change?
