About this episode
Another week in the red and the green
0:00
Monday morning, coffee black and screen so bright
0:05
Saw a little green shoot, reachin' for the light
0:11
Felt a fool's hope rising, thought I'd caught a wave
0:17
By Tuesday lunchtime, it was diggin' its own grave
0:23
That red candle burnin', burnin' down my soul
0:29
Another damn story, gettin' mighty old.
0:35
It's the Friday Ticker Blues, the closing bell's in sight
0:41
She builds you up all morning just to kill you in the night
0:47
Thirty years I've watched her, this cruel and fickle queen
0:53
And I'm still a fool for the heartbreak of the green.
0:58
Wednesday was a flatline, a breath I held too long
1:04
Felt like a bad connection, where everything went wrong
1:10
Then Thursday came a-rumblin', a rumor from the Fed
1:16
A rally for the suckers, that's what the old-timers said
1:22
I watched my numbers climbin', but I didn't dare to smile
1:28
Knew she was just settin' me up for the last painful mile.
1:34
It's the Friday Ticker Blues, the closing bell's in sight
1:40
She builds you up all morning just to kill you in the night
1:46
Thirty years I've watched her, this cruel and fickle queen
1:52
And I'm still a fool for the heartbreak of the green.
1:57
Some folks got a lover, some folks got a god
2:03
I just got this ticker, and a path that's poorly trod
2:09
I tell myself I'll quit it, walk away and be free
2:15
But Monday's gonna roll 'round, and it's got a hold on me
2:21
Yeah, it's got a hold on me.
2:27
It's the Friday Ticker Blues, the closing bell's in sight
2:33
She builds you up all morning just to kill you in the night
2:39
Thirty years I've watched her, this cruel and fickle queen
2:45
And I'm still a fool for the heartbreak of the green.
