Paul Banks – Paid For That lyrics

Gun fire explosion, I want that guarantee
Sometimes I think I coexist with me.
And one side makes me old
And one side makes me struggle,
I was on the nightshift, I said I’ll never run a fight like this.

In the meantime, I’m gonna shut it tight like a briefcase.
‘cause in my moon mine it’s a summer night and I watch it break.

Change my full conclusion when I was 17,
Sometimes I feel diminished by routine.
It’s one night, two years cold, next she’s making me doubles,
I’m drinking moonshine, because I’ve had enough of starlight.

In the meantime, I’m gonna shut it tight like a briefcase.
‘cause in my moon mine it’s a summer night and I watch it break.

So just sit back, I don’t mind
See how long I’ve been chased.
Don’t you see I have to pay for that?
I paid for that, I paid for that.
And now you’ll pay me back.

Death will come by ocean, I want that guarantee.
Sometimes I think I’m offering a dream.

In the meantime, I’m gonna shut it tight like my briefcase.
‘cause in my moon mine it’s a summer night and I watch it break.

So just sit back, I don’t mind
See how long I’ve been chased.
Don’t you see I have to pay for that?
I paid for that, I paid for that.
And now you’ll pay me back.
I paid for that, in very many steps.
I paid for that, now you’ll pay me back,
Now you’ll pay me back, now you’ll pay me back,
Now you’ll pay me back, now you’ll pay me back
