| Tom Waits – Pay Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |

"They pay me not to come home Keeping me stoned I won’t run away" Presumably about an actor/actress trying to make it out alone and being given money by their parents. "I kick my foot at the lights I breathe it in all night There’s a light on a canvas tree" A light on canvas tree, maybe thinking the spotlight should be on him/her. "Money from home supporting me They pay me not to come I won’t eat crow Ill stay away" Refusing to give up on their dream even though it's failing, and not wanting to prove their parents right about how they'd never make it some shit. |
