About this episode
Another week, another swing
0:00
Monday morning, the bell rang sweet and low
0:05
Saw a little green, put on a hopeful show
0:10
Thought maybe this time, the trend would be my friend
0:16
But that line went south before the trading day could end
0:21
Tuesday hit me like a margin call I missed
0:27
Every stock I ever loved, she betrayed me with a kiss
0:32
Just a long red candle, burnin' down my screen
0:38
The ugliest damn chart this old man's ever seen
0:43
I got the ticker tape blues, yeah, the Friday afternoon kind
0:48
Where every single gain just messes with your mind
0:54
Yeah, the green's a sweet lover, gone by the dawn
0:59
And the red's a cold shoulder when your money's all gone
1:05
Oh, the market's a mistress, cruel and so unkind
1:10
Wednesday brought a whisper, a rumor from the Fed
1:16
Sent the futures tumbling, left my portfolio for dead
1:21
I tried to buy the dip, like all the wise men say
1:26
But the dip just kept on dippin' and stole my cash away
1:32
Thursday saw a rally, a dead cat bounce for sure
1:37
A moment of sweet heaven, that I knew could not endure
1:43
It was just enough to fool me, just enough to make me dream
1:48
Before Friday pulled the rug out, with a silent, bloody scream
1:54
I got the ticker tape blues, yeah, the Friday afternoon kind
1:59
Where every single gain just messes with your mind
2:04
Yeah, the green's a sweet lover, gone by the dawn
2:10
And the red's a cold shoulder when your money's all gone
2:15
Oh, the market's a mistress, cruel and so unkind
2:21
Thirty years I've watched this digital parade
2:26
Seen fortunes built and fortunes unmade
2:32
It's a heartache and a fever, a poison and a cure
2:37
And every Friday evening, I ain't never really sure
2:42
Why I'll be back on Monday, staring at that wall of light
2:48
Guess I'm just addicted to the losing fight
2:53
I got the ticker tape blues, yeah, the Friday afternoon kind
2:59
Where every single gain just messes with your mind
3:04
Yeah, the green's a sweet lover, gone by the dawn
3:10
And the red's a cold shoulder when your money's all gone
3:15
Oh, the market's a mistress... gonna drink my whiskey and leave this week behind.
