Tom Waits - Pay Me Lyrics
They pay me not to come home, Keeping me stoned, I won't run away.They say it's easy to get, Stuck in this town, Just like joan.You know I gave it all up for the stageThey fill my cup up in a cageIt's nobodies business but mine, when I'm low, To hold yourself upside a crime here you knowAt the end of the worldAnd I kick my foot at the lights.I breathe it in all night. There's a light on a canvas treeAnd money from home, supporting me.They pay me not to come homeI've already croaked I'll stay awayAnd though all roads will not lead you home my girl, All roads lead, to the end of the world.And I've sown a little luck up in the hem of my gunThe only way down from the gallows, isTo swing. And I'll wear boots instead of high heels, And the next stage that I'll have on it will have wheels
