ist - Freudian Corduroy - Released 2003
Pay For This
Let them turn the lights out as they leave
There will be no last minute reprieve
My will is broken, I'm so tired
Of trying to ward off desire
I've nothing but goose-pimples up my sleeve
They say there's beauty in what's brief
Tonight that comes as no relief
When even as your breath meets mine
The bells already tolling time
And hope cuts so deeper than belief
Somebody's going to pay for this
Somebody's going to pay for this
Somebody's going to pay for this kiss
We can kid ourselves it's just as well
But darling this is going to hurt like hell
This rope's unraveled, I'm afraid
With this embrace, we are betrayed
We tread with such cautious steps and fell
Somebody's going to pay for this
Somebody's going to pay for this
Somebody's going to pay for this kiss
And it won't be what we expect
The fisticuffs, the broken neck
This sin a steeper cost demands
The parting of these entwined hands
I would still the sun were I that strong
But pain's the only thing I can prolong
Let memory slip to sepia tint
I, for one, won't take the hint
I'm grateful for the thing that I've done wrong
Somebody's going to pay for this
Somebody's going to pay for this
Somebody's going to pay for this kiss
For this kiss
For this kiss
For this kiss
For this kiss
For this kiss
For this kiss
For this kiss
For this kiss
