Money Crosses Borders

[Verse 1]
Money on the move at dawn
Crossing ports, and getting gone
Bills in bags, then banks reshuffle
Prices feel that foreign shuffle

A bigger inflow, more cash around
More hands chasing the same ground
Rent goes up, the shelf tag bends
That money wave just changes ends

[Pre-Chorus]
When the dollars pour in fast
The local price can rise at last
When the money slips away
Price pressure cools the other way

[Chorus]
Cash flows, cash flows
Prices move when cash goes
Cash flows, cash flows
That’s the way the market shows
More cash in town, up go the signs
Less cash around, prices unwind
Cash flows, cash flows
Everybody feels it show

[Verse 2]
Foreign buyers bring new demand
Paying more for land to land
Factories hire, wages climb
Then the market starts to chime

But if the tide runs out that door
Shops can’t charge the same anymore
Less demand, and weaker bids
That’s how price level changes hit

[Pre-Chorus]
When the dollars pour in fast
The local price can rise at last
When the money slips away
Price pressure cools the other way

[Chorus]
Cash flows, cash flows
Prices move when cash goes
Cash flows, cash flows
That’s the way the market shows
More cash in town, up go the signs
Less cash around, prices unwind
Cash flows, cash flows
Everybody feels it show

[Bridge]
It’s not magic, it’s demand
More money changes every hand
From wages paid to rents that jump
From crowded aisles to empty pumps

Trade the flow, and watch it swing
That’s the price-level chain reaction thing
In and out, the numbers speak
The whole economy feels the leak

[Chorus]
Cash flows, cash flows
Prices move when cash goes
Cash flows, cash flows
That’s the way the market shows
More cash in town, up go the signs
Less cash around, prices unwind
Cash flows, cash flows
Everybody feels it show
