Lyrics

Payday is getting close     mr. collect stop chasing me     payday is getting closer     oh, mister, please, stop chasing me     you can take all of my money     if you leave me something to eat. when i was a kid     and thought of the man i’d be     my heart grew bigger and so did my grin     now my life is spent in shame and misery     look now, won’t you let me be?     you can take my house and money     if you promise that i’ll be free. i’m slaving all my life away     and you’re never pleased     you take my dignity away and i’m at your feet     look now mr. debt collector     you are going to kill me     won’t you have a little mercy on me?     you can have everything you want     if you stop playing with me. i called my friends     from all over town     they say i won’t have peace     until you are around     won’t you? won’t you release me?     payday is getting closer and you’ll have the blood you need. payday’s getting closer     mr. collector stop chasing me     payday is getting closer      mister, please, just let me be!     if my life ain’t worth enough     then my soul might satisfy thee.

Lyrics

she looks at me     and i feel unexpectedly relieved     of my unbearable memories     she talks with me     and she seems unaware     of how well she makes me feel. if she could guess     how much time i think of her     every day     would she be upset     or flattered instead? she doesn’t know     i’m taken aback by the very essence     of the elements that constitute her being     she believes     that my words are just the unconscious     reflection of what is nice in me. if she could guess     how much time i think of her     every day     would she be upset     or flattered instead? and i hardly know what to say     when you look at me in the eyes     and you know i meet every day     i would simply like to walk away     try and forget     the obnoxious complexities of the love we share.

Lyrics

if i still had a heart i would tear it apart     with no hesitation, i would never look back     all of this i would do and much much more     for the gracious beauty of my drug of choice. it’s not just lust, it is so much more     i feel it in the marrow of my bones     some would call it madness, i call it love     giving me a thrill unknown before. my chains are unbreakable and she leaves them alone     there is no salvation as soon as she’s gone     i’ve learnt to survive with a hole in my soul     for the childish delight of my drug of choice. she’s not my type so she runs away     i used to be furious but now i’ve grown cold     i do see straight, i try to live once more     with all my charms being skinned down to the bones. i wake up in the morning and i start to mourn     i try to keep my head straight when i leave home     but my chest still aches and my brain’s still sore     for the tender thrill of my sweet     drug of choice.

Lyrics

oh brother, oh brother     where are we gonna sleep?     oh brother, oh brother     the night is long and mean     my sleeping bag is rolled open under the stars. oh brother, oh brother     what will the morning bring?     oh brother, oh brother     what are we gonna eat?     my pockets are empty     we are in need. oh brother, oh brother     we’re walking night and day     oh brother, oh brother     it’s such a long long way     my feet are wounded and my boots are killing me     my heart is empty and “tomorrow” is just a dream. oh brother, oh brother     how comes we are still here?     oh brother, oh brother     when are we gonna leave?     the night train’s the only way to get out of here     we’ll jump on one tonight and we’ll be free.

Lyrics

i’m the king of the night     i’m the lord of this town     nothing can stop me. here i am     the coolest cat in here     laughing under my breath     if nobody’s here     i should go on my way     why should i care? i’m the king of the night     and nothing can stop me     nothing at all.
