»Devil's Monopoly«
(by Kelly Attrill)
The buzz of the city softens
as the people decide to go home.
A hard day at work, she goes home to be alone.
Her plant sits they same as it did when she left it
She sighs and reminisces
"kind of boring" she has to admit.
Once young and in love everything was full of life
Now an independant women, not a mother, not a wife.
Not longing for that feeling that somebody misses you
Not longing for that reason to tell him before you go - what you going to do.
Her money keeps her busy
it keeps her satisfied
It is the one, that made things like this,
the money seemed to stay by her side.
Fallen so deeply into the devil's clever game
she didn't even realise things can never be the same.
as the people decide to go home.
A hard day at work, she goes home to be alone.
Her plant sits they same as it did when she left it
She sighs and reminisces

Now an independant women, not a mother, not a wife.
Not longing for that feeling that somebody misses you
Not longing for that reason to tell him before you go - what you going to do.
Her money keeps her busy
it keeps her satisfied
It is the one, that made things like this,
the money seemed to stay by her side.
Fallen so deeply into the devil's clever game
she didn't even realise things can never be the same.
