Paying My Bill Lyrics - Erik Segel

Onto the street with my hat on, 

oh November is here, 

oh the wheels of faith are broken, 

still the heart and liver steer. 

Walk into a bar for the rich ones, 

where you sweat to quench your thirst, 

holy water down the throat 

and the goddess will descend a little more. 

No, her beauty doesn't find words, 

but I try on and on, 

she walks by a monastery, 

that's why the monks are no longer monks. 

Wounds of shiver, soaked my pleasure 

in the gin on her tray, 

that I'm sober I'll pretend 

though I'm drunk on looks 

that claim that there's no end.

And I'll be paying my bill 

as you're standing still 

we're dressed to kill 

dawns on top of the hill. 

After all I'm not that ill. 

Three a.m. ma'am I am, 

I'm ready to praise your eyes, 

when these drinkers ache for leaving, 

I'll pawn myself past closing time. 

But if you stay I'll love the prison, 

I'll be friends with the guard, 

though I'm buried in the yard 

just one spark will make 

the night no longer dark.

And I'll be paying my bill 

as you're standing still 

we're dressed to kill 

dawns on top of the hill.
