Foster The People - Pay the Man lyrics

What you need? What you need?
What you need, man? What you need?
What you need? yeah, what'd you see?
What'd you see? yeah, oh yeah

Well, I need a little something
To cool my head off
Need a little something to cool my head off
Yeah need a little something because I've
Been running from a truce we'll never lose
Lies come from loose teeth tied to the noose
Climbing up my own tree hoping it can hold
All the things I've seen but
Have chosen to ignore, mmm
Well, I said, well, I believe
I've been well fed, yeah
But the wolf's not dead

Say what you love, it's alright
Don't be afraid to find your light
Embrace the day like night
We're here to fight, we all go wild again
And you have the name of someone I love
You said, just keep it true
Lift up your name seasons change
You know it'll never be the same
We'll see the sun again and before it fades
I just wanna say that I love you, mmm

Pay the man, pay the man
Got to pay the man, run as fast as you can
Call out to God, praise to the Most High
Call out for help 'cause
I'm playing with fire
Call out on mountains till
My voice goes faint
Echoes through time then comes
Back with new strength

And when it's raining, we're sailing
Oh yeah, we're sailing, we're sailing

I'm off the leash, I go to war for peace
'Cause I've been touching everything
That I can i got blood on my hands
Guess I'm going deaf from what
The crowd is sayin'
Ah, please forgive me, I don't understand
We all believe we've been well fed, yeah

The deaf man heard what the mute man said
Then they all followed where
The blind man led

Say what you love, it's alright
Don't be afraid to find your light
Embrace the day like night
We're here to fight, we all go wild again
And you have the name of someone I love
You said, just keep it true
Lift up your name seasons change
You know it'll never be the same
We'll see the sun again and before it fades
I just wanna say that I love you, mmm

(Pay the man, pay the man, pay the man)
Pay the man, you got to pay the man
Pay the man, you got to pay the man
Pay the man well, I was laughing real hard
Until my teeth fell out
Laughing real hard until my teeth fell out
I was laughing real hard until
My teeth fell out
Need a little something, yeah
Need a little something
(Little something, little something
Little something)
(Little something, little something
Little something, little)

You said, just keep it true
Lift up your name seasons change
You know it'll never be the same
We'll see the sun again and before it fades
I just wanna say that I love you, mmm

Can't you see? Can't see me
Can't see me, can't see me
Yeah, can't see me, can't see me
We all run when the light comes on
Am I wrong for wanting it all?
But I warned you, mmm
