Pay For Me Lyrics

i thought i'd come to you

and your long lazy scene

instate direction, finger on a magazine.

i'd call you when i need you

i can't get used to your new name.



send a body double over with your keys

she'll see you in an hour

everybody quiet please.

essex house is down the road

the actors want to be alone.



your room is still and soft

as a jeweler's.

incidental music coming down the hall

remember when i never had to wait for you at all?

i wish my hands were yours as i lay your keys

on a magazine.



take me to LaGuardia

my baby's gonna pay for me.



bottle from the duty-free

i'll drink it all across the sea.

lay me down business class

headphones and a sleeping mask.



she's gonna pay for me

she's gonna pay for me.



brother, i wish you were home

just tell me you're not alone

call me back; i'm on a plane

i think i'm somewhere over spain.

i'm in the dark without the stars

i've never seen a black suit dark

thought i'd be above the rain

somewhere on a higher plane.



oh brother, i wish you were home

my brother, i wish you were home.



baby, you're asleep by now

you never stayed awake for me

you never waited up for me,

no, you never waited up for me!

now there's nothing i can do

i lost you but i beat the sound

couldn't if i wanted to

THE COGWHEEL (?) DOESN'T TURN AROUND!



oh brother, i wish you were home

my baby is in a room alone.



my brother, i wish you were home.
