For when your ideas are on the money, but your fingers may as well be broke.

lyrics

Thoughts are tumbling
Colourful and brash
My mind is writing cheques my hands can't cash

How fast they flutter, fingers fine
But none so swiftly as the mind
No man can match with muscle motion
Each new thought and every notion

Attitude cautious
Though the thoughts are rash
My mind is writing cheques my hands can't cash

Superhighways built of nerves
Bring the audience deserved
Flowing forth when fingers flex
To pass from one world to the next

Synapses firing
Quicker than a flash
My mind is writing cheques my hands can't cash

And isn't it a shame
That the wealth of your imagination
Never trickles to the pockets of your congregation

Thoughts still tumbling
Colourful and brash
My mind is writing cheques my hands can't cash
