A Dying Wage

Lyrics: Leo Ashline Music: Shaun Ringsmuth/Leo Ashline The deadbolt clicks into place Relax, they're gone No one knows where we are The strip is hot Let's keep our heads down for a few more days Let the rumors circulate And when they drop their guard We'll remind them who we are We'll take what's ours No repercussions, just a few loose ends Then, the real work begins Just because we've had some fun Doesn't mean we're happy Look at how we're living now Look at all this waste You can feel the weight Of a dying wage No one dreams of getting older While they run in place I can see my face In the glass of the cage I see the dealer on the corner Who accepts his fate in stride And he is never much more than a phone call or a grave mistake away I'm getting older I don't want to You like bourbon? Two bourbons and water, Ben Drink will do you a lot of good Help you let go, relieve the tension Ben, turn the cart to the wall My friend is a clock watcher
