“Where are you hiding your love? Where are the roses you promised us?
How can I sleep when the dreams out of sight?
Seems I was building you up; searching for light in the darkest son
Now I’m just praying to get through the night.”
Well it pays to behave like you’re told
so you’ll stay ‘till your bones start to show.
Followed the need for control. Heaven, they said, had been bought and sold.
Happened to perfectly fit the design.
I can’t explain it, you know. There’s no escape from the undertow
Everything changes just give it some time
‘Cuz it pays to behave like you’re told
so you’ll stay ‘till your bones start to show
and I’ll take what you want to hold
and you’ll shake as you watch ‘till I’m gone
