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

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

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.

Lyrics

like the waves of the ocean keep returning to the shore     caressing the golden sand in the starless night once more     so my thoughts return to you     kissing your lips     before the dawn. that’s when i feel that magic     blooming in my lungs     something that is too small for words     and too big to understand     that’s when i can live for real     and open my eyes once again. the world implodes in your heart     in the soft sound of a whisper     always taking advantage of me     of my pointless defense     when those subtle sounds fill your silence       echoing near me just like a laughter     i know i will never let you go. the afternoons flow away so slowly     almost secretly     in silence     maybe afraid that your sighs could force me to stay     but when darkness starts singing again     and your heart finds peace in its silence     i know i will never let you go.
