Sawbuck
Sawbuck may refer to a device and is a slang term for a U.S. currency bill.
Device
A sawbuck is a device for holding wood so that it may be cut into pieces. Easily made in the field from rough material, it consists of an "X" form at each end which are joined by cross bars below the intersections of the X's. The stock to be cut is placed in the V's formed above the intersections of the X's.
A sawbuck is very simple to build. The five "V" sawbuck was designed with 10 vertical 1.2 m-long (4-foot) 2×4s, and four horizontal, 1.5 m-long (5-foot) 2×6s, secured with 89 mm (3.5 inches) wood screws. It was designed this way in order to cut two or more smaller pieces (0.6–1.2 m or 2–4 feet in length) of firewood in rapid succession. A sawbuck should be heavy enough to negate any kickback from the saw while cutting. Building a sawbuck that is too light could result in injury as it may tip over while cutting, especially with a chainsaw.
In Canada and Britain, but not in the United States, a sawbuck is called a saw horse; a sawhorse in the United States is a similar device used (often in pairs) to support wood planks.

Astro Girl
by: SpockShe was a beauty queen with the future in her hand
Full of dreams and a ticket to wonderland
Young and innocent ready for action
Trying anything for some satisfaction
But she fell deeper and deeper without success
Met the wrong guys and got stuck in a mess
So now she works at a sleazy place
In a red light quadrant of space
Astro girl
Why don't you leave this world
I've been watching her for awhile
Those tender eyes and her beautiful smile
The way she serves the drinks and acts polite
And then disappears when the price is right
I can see that there is something wrong
It's very obvious that she doesn't belong
I wish there was something I could to
To help her start something new
Astro girl
