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

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.

Lyrics

in your sunday dress     you seem to be a little tired of your life     with those spring flowers in your hands     it seems you want to cry     baby, pack up your bag     take heart and jump into my car     i know your daemon is what it takes     baby, you’ll be a star! when they will know how much you’re worth     i’m sure you will be fine     when you will know how much you’re loved     i’m sure you will be glad.
