the payoff

Father John Misty

The proposal isn t simple
And the aim ain t true
That s okay
You ll catch on soon
Have I got a deal for you
You strike me as a realist
This ll be a breeze
We can stop anytime you please
It ain t pretty
But, hey, nothing s free

Waiting for the payoff
Coming due
I feel a little stupid
Doubting you
Cause nobody gets ripped off when there s nothing to lose

The sophistication of our methods can t be discerned
I ll explain cause it s best you learn
That man, when it s hummin
You can t hear the churn

It s a low risk proposition
Don t lose your shirt
I ll appraise your body s worth
C mon, a small cut ain t bound to hurt

Waiting for the payoff
Coming due
I m sick of the excuses
Out of you
Waiting for the payoff
What I m due
Just a little token
Of your gratitude
Waiting for the payoff
It s coming soon
It s coming soon
Yeah, it s coming soon
Why bother getting pissed off when there s?

There s nothing you can do
There s nothing you can do
There s nothing you can do
There s nothing you can do
There s nothing you can do
There s nothing you can do
There s nothing you can do
