[St. Vincent - Pay Your Way in Pain lyrics]
You got to pay your way in pain
You got to pray your way in shame (yeah, ow)
I went to the store
I was feelin' kinda hungry
But, I didn't have the money and
The shelves were all empty
So I went to the bank
To ch-ch-ch-check my checking
The man looked at my face, said
"We don't have a record"
Oh, no, you thought we had forgotten?
The show is only gettin' started
The road is feelin' like a pothole
Sit down, stand up, head down, hands up, and
Pay your way in pain
You got to pray your way in shame (Uh, huh)
Do you know what I want?
(What do you want? What do you want?)
You know what I want
(What do you want? What do you want?)
You know what I want
(What do you want? What do you want?)
Keep the rest, baby, ah, ah i wanna be loved
Pay, pain pray, shame
So I went to the park just
To watch the little children
The mothers saw my heels and
They said I wasn't welcome
So I, I went back home
I was feelin' kinda queasy
But all the locks were changed
My baby wouldn't see me
Oh, no, you've put your finger on it
The stove is only gettin' hotter
The sun, it's gotta, gotta melt it
Stand up, sit down, hands up, break down
(What do you want? What do you want?)
You know what I want
(What do you want? What do you want?)
I wanna be loved
(What do you want? What do you want? Pay
Pain) i wanna be loved
(What do you want? What you do want? Pray
Shame)
You got to pray your way in shame (yeah, ow)
I went to the store
I was feelin' kinda hungry
But, I didn't have the money and
The shelves were all empty
So I went to the bank
To ch-ch-ch-check my checking
The man looked at my face, said
"We don't have a record"
Oh, no, you thought we had forgotten?
The show is only gettin' started
The road is feelin' like a pothole
Sit down, stand up, head down, hands up, and
Pay your way in pain
You got to pray your way in shame (Uh, huh)
Do you know what I want?
(What do you want? What do you want?)
You know what I want
(What do you want? What do you want?)
You know what I want
(What do you want? What do you want?)
Keep the rest, baby, ah, ah i wanna be loved
Pay, pain pray, shame
So I went to the park just
To watch the little children
The mothers saw my heels and

So I, I went back home
I was feelin' kinda queasy
But all the locks were changed

Oh, no, you've put your finger on it

(What do you want? What do you want? Pay
Pain) i wanna be loved
(What do you want? What you do want? Pray
Shame)
