Million Dollar Loan - Death Cab for Cutie

From a great height

He's looking down on his city at night

From gilded room

Of gold, marble, and soft perfume

And he's proud to say

He built his fortune the old fashioned way

Because to succeed

There's only one thing you really need

A million dollar loan

Nobody makes it on their own

Without a million dollar loan

You'll reap what you've sown

From a million dollar loan

Call your father on the phone

And get that million dollar loan

His enemies

Can't contain the flames of jealousy

With brutish charm

The women flock to be on his arm

Because it's a sign

Of weakness to apologize

And he counter sues

From any corner he's backed into

A million dollar loan

Nobody makes it on their own

Without a million dollar loan

To cast the first stone

You'll need a million dollar loan

Every ascension to a throne

Starts with a million dollar loan

A million dollar loan

Nobody makes it on their own

Without a million dollar loan

You'll reap what you've sown

From a million dollar loan

Call your father on the phone

And get that million dollar loan

A siren screams

Through the city as he falls asleep

The campaign

Begins again at the break of day

A million dollar loan

Nobody makes it on their own

Without a million dollar loan

To cast the first stone

You'll need a million dollar loan

Every ascension to a throne

Starts with a million dollar loan

A million dollar loan

Nobody makes it on their own

Without a million dollar loan

You'll reap what you've sown

From a million dollar loan

Call your father on the phone

And get that million dollar loan
