Pay & Display Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Darling, would you get my gun? I’ve got a new prescription
That upmarket’s top of your road, off licenced, that’s 24/7
And that till’s a ticket to get us out of town
And your indecision’s the only thing weighing us down
[Pre-Chorus]
But, oh, ooh, I’m not scared if you’re not
Oh no, no, I’d never be scared
[Chorus]
Passed away
I heard that Heaven’s got a pay and display
The blessed always get their way
On a subscription basis selling salvation
And just last week, I took the pills they sold to me
And hide the tithing up my sleeve
Oh I’m your creation, buy me salvation
[Verse 2]
But darling, it’s a simple thought, just trust your intuition
You know nothing’s really lost, it’s all just redistribution
‘Cause you’ll name the hour, they all dissolve in time
And this life devours the only thing that you left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
But, oh, I think my head is breaking
Oh no, no, I can’t afford to be scared
[Chorus]
Passed away
I heard that Heaven’s got a pay and display
The blessed always get their way
On a subscription basis selling salvation
Just last week, I took the pills they sold to me
And hide the tithing up my sleeve
Oh, I’m your creation, buy me salvation
[Bridge]
Six-star hotel room, you begin to cry
This little tedium, oh, it’s getting hard to justify
If you call me a ba*tard
Oh, I would fu*king like it
I hate that I would like it
[Chorus]
I hate that I could pass away
I heard that Heaven’s got a pay and display
The blessed always get their way
On a subscription basis selling salvation
And just last week, I took the pills they sold to me
And hide the tithing up my sleeve
Oh, I’m your creation, buy me salvation
[Outro]
Buy me salvation
Hey
Buy me salvation
