"Pay & Display" lyrics
"Pay & Display"
Darling, would you get my gun? I've got a new prescription
That upmarket's up your road, off licenced, that's 24/7
And that till's a ticket to get us out of town
And your indecision's the only thing weighing us down
But, oh, ooh, I'm not scared if you're not
Oh, no, no, I'd never be scared
Passed away
I heard that Heaven's got a pay and display
The blessed always get their way
On a subscription basis selling salvation
And just last week
I took the pills they sold to me
And hide the tithing up my sleeve
Oh, I'm your creation, buy me salvation
But darling, it's a simple thought, just trust your intuition
You know nothing's really lost, it's all just redistribution
'Cause you'll name the hour, they all dissolve in time
And this life devours the only thing that you left behind
But, oh, I think my head is breaking
Oh, no, no, I can't afford to be scared
Passed away
I heard that Heaven's got a pay and display
The blessed always get their way
On a subscription basis selling salvation
Just last week
I took the pills they sold to me
And hide the tithing up my sleeve
Oh, I'm your creation, buy me salvation
Six-star hotel room, you begin to cry
This little tedium, oh, it's getting hard to justify
If you call me a bastard, oh, I would fucking like it
I hate that I would like it
I hate that I could pass away
I heard that Heaven's got a pay and display
The blessed always get their way
On a subscription basis selling salvation
And just last week
I took the pills they sold to me
And hide the tithing up my sleeve
Oh, I'm your creation, buy me salvation
Buy me salvation
Hey, buy me salvation

Light regrets that'll kill me in time
