Pay Me

They pay me not to come home

Keeping me stoned

I wont run away

They say its easy to get

Stuck in this town

Just like Joan

You know I gave it all up for the stage

They fill my cup up in the cage

Its nobodys business but mine when Im low

To hold yourself up is not a crime here you know

At the end of the worldI kick my foot at the lights

I breathe it in all night

Theres a light on a canvas tree

Money from home supporting me

They pay me not to come

I wont eat crow

Ill stay away

And though all roads will not lead you home my girl

All roads lead to the end of the world

I sewed a little luck up in the hem of my gown

The only way down from the gallows is to swing

And Ill wear boots instead of high heels

And the next stage that I am on it will have wheels
