Payday Never Comes

Paroles de « Payday Never Comes »

Verse

Monday dawn
Coffee cold
Boots hit the floor
Story told
Twelve hours straight
Hands on the wheel
Sweat on the concrete
Broken metal feel
Saturday night
Clock ticks slow
Waiting for the light
Where the money go

Chorus

It’s gone
Before it lands
In my hands
Burned away
Like smoke today
Promises rust
In my dust
No check, no cash
Just a heavy flash
It’s gone
Before it lands

Verse

Boss man smiles
Lips don’t lie
Says tomorrow
There will be
A pay
Piles up high
Invoices stack
On the desk
Red ink crawls
On the desk
Silent rage
Cold as stone
Standing alone
King of nothing
Throne of debt

Chorus

It’s gone
Before it lands
In my hands
Burned away
Like smoke today
Promises rust
In my dust
No check, no cash
Just a heavy flash
It’s gone
Before it lands

Bridge

Quiet fire
Burning slow
Chewing the bone
Give or take
The show
Ends in black
They expect the back
Bend the knee
You’ll see
Empty hands
And cold rain

Chorus

It’s gone
Before it lands
In my hands
Burned away
Like smoke today
Promises rust
In my dust
No check, no cash
Just a heavy flash
It’s gone
Before it lands
