… For No One

It's late 
  Oh I'll tell you straight 
  You screw this up 
  And I'll make you pay 

  Tonight 
  Fuck your stagefright 
  You do your job 
  And I'll do mine 

  Now the lights are as high as I can have them 
  'Cause images are significant 
  The clothes have yards of flesh between them 
  So I'll be rich before you're on the stage 

  This demon has it's way with me 
  He wants a hit in record time please 
  He'll kill me when I hit my peak 
  'Cause dead singers mean the money keeps rolling in 
  Rolling in 

  Lose weight 
  So buy smaller plates 
  Eat standing up 
  Never purge in day 

  Now the lights are as high as I can have them 
  'Cause images are significant 
  The clothes have yards of flesh between them 
  So I'll be rich before you're on the stage 

  This demon has it's way with me 
  He wants a hit in record time please 
  He'll kill me when I hit my peak 
  'Cause dead singers mean the money keeps rolling in 

  Sit down 
  You needn't shout 
  I'll make these rules 
  You'll play them out 

  Now I'm back stage and holding water 
  Remember our last discussion dear? 
  If I get half it's not important 
  I'll be here as long as you can pay 

  This demon has it's way with me 
  He wants a hit in record time please 
  He'll kill me when I hit my peak 
  'Cause dead singers mean the money keeps rolling in 
  Rolling in, rolling in
