Don't Want To Pay Lyrics
The doors to the cinema
Are open for the taking
Like a cat on a mouse
I'm ready to pounce
Before my nerve starts breaking
And if I'm caught by the ticket collector
I promise I will always respect her
She might be feeling like her job
Is like that out of date ticket stub
And I get a thrill
I just take on seat that Hollywood couldn't fill
Because I don't want to pay
No, I don't want to pay
When there's no-one on the door
You won't see me anymore
Because I don't want to pay
It's not an exercise in saving money
I don't do it to impress my friends
I do it to start that thing in my heart
That fills me with adrenalin
Cause I'm a rebel without a ticket
Yeah, I'm a matinee mutineer
How can you know what I'm searching for
Till you feel that post-sneak euphoria
And I get a thrill
If only for the want of time to kill
Because I don't want to pay
No, I don't want to pay
When there's no one on the door you won't see me anymore
Because I don't want to pay
No I don't want to pay
It's not the size of your budget
But what you do with it that counts
Are open for the taking
Like a cat on a mouse
I'm ready to pounce
Before my nerve starts breaking
I promise I will always respect her
She might be feeling like her job
Is like that out of date ticket stub
I just take on seat that Hollywood couldn't fill
Because I don't want to pay
No, I don't want to pay
When there's no-one on the door
You won't see me anymore
Because I don't want to pay
I don't do it to impress my friends
I do it to start that thing in my heart
That fills me with adrenalin
Cause I'm a rebel without a ticket
Yeah, I'm a matinee mutineer
How can you know what I'm searching for
Till you feel that post-sneak euphoria
If only for the want of time to kill
Because I don't want to pay
No, I don't want to pay
When there's no one on the door you won't see me anymore
Because I don't want to pay
No I don't want to pay
But what you do with it that counts

"I just take ONE seat that Hollywood couldn't fill"
The best part about all these songs is that Darren really does have a fixation with sneaking into places. I remember he talked about trying to jump a fence into Cedar Point while touring the States some years ago...
