Dollar days

Дни чистогана 1

Cash girls suffer me, I’ve got no enemies
I’m walking down
It’s nothing to me
It’s nothing to see
If I never see the English evergreens I’m running to
It’s nothing to me
It’s nothing to see

I’m dying to
Push their backs against the grain
And fool them all again and again
I’m trying to
We bitches tear our magazines
Those Oligarchs with foaming mouths phone
Now and then
Don’t believe for just one second I’m forgetting you
I’m trying to
I’m dying to

Dollar days
Survival sex honour stretching tails to necks
I’m falling down
It’s nothing to me
It’s nothing to see
If I never see the English evergreens I’m running to
It’s nothing to me
It’s nothing to see

I’m dying to
Push their backs against the grain
And fool them all again and again
I’m trying to
It’s all gone wrong but on and on
The bitter nerve ends never end
I’m falling down
Don’t believe for just one second I’m forgetting you
I’m trying to
I’m dying to

Лишь девки уличные досаждают мне, врагов я не имею
Просто иду
Мне всё это не важно
И не на что смотреть
Коль больше не увижу никогда лугов английских
Мне всё это не важно
И не о чем жалеть

Я умираю
Но наперекор законам всем
Я обману всех вновь и снова
Я пытаюсь
Мы рвем журналы словно звери
Те олигархи с пеною у рта звонят
Без устали
Не верь ни на секунду что забываю я тебя
Хоть и пытаюсь
Хоть и умираю

Дни чистогана
Борьба за жизнь, секс, честь — искажены понятия
Я падаю
Мне всё это не важно
И не на что смотреть
Коль больше не увижу никогда лугов английских
Мне всё это не важно
И не о чем жалеть

Я умираю
Но наперекор законам всем
Я обману всех вновь и снова
Я пытаюсь
Всё пошло не так, но день за днем
Нерв напряжен, и напряжение крепнет
Я падаю
Не верь ни на секунду что забываю я тебя
Хоть и пытаюсь
Хоть и умираю

you would never use ‘thousands-dollar’ as that expression is not used in English. ‘there is a thousand-dollar prize’ is correct for $1,000. For more than $1,000 you would have to say, for example ‘there is a five thousand-dollar prize’, giving the actual sum, or use a more indirect way, such as ‘the prize is worth many thousands of dollars’, or ‘the prize is worth several thousand dollars’. ‘The prize is worth a few thousand dollars’ is also correct. I hope this is helpful, as I am not able to explain the grammatical rule.

I don’t think either of those sounds correct. Thousand dollar prize means $1000 to me. In the question the prize is more than $1000.

Instead of using either, you could try re-phrasing like in your question:

“The prize is worth thousands of dollars.”

If the prize is $5000, you could say “Five Thousand Dollar Prize”.
