Mercenary

Just a dime store poet
 Keeping pace, talking his face blue
 Two dollar store tramps
 To get a glance, a new chance at you
 Walk past the dance floor
 It's always been a dear friend of mine
 Cuckolds and concubines
 Dancing in four-four time
 "Hey mister!" the bellman says
 "I can only recall last's night hotel," I said
 So he replies, "Then how do you manage?"
 I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage

 In love, I've always been a mercenary
 But I never leave my post when the cash runs out
 I want to make you quiver
 Make your backbone shiver
 Hey kid, take the stage and deliver
 "Hey mister!" the bellman says
 "I can only recall last night's hotel" I said
 So he replies, "Then how do you manage?"
 I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage
 (Collateral damage, collateral damage)
 (Collateral damage, collateral-)
 ♪
 How does it feel to stand on the very stones
 That ran with your parent's blood?
 Do you feel sad? Full of rage?
 Or does that outfit help bury your feelings?
 Hiding your true self
 You're truly an extraordinary specimen
 I look forward to breaking you
 I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage
 "Hey mister!" the bellman says
 "I can only recall last night's hotel" I said
 So he replies, "Then how do you manage?"
 I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage
 "Hey mister!" the bellman says
 "I can only recall last night's hotel" I said (Hotel I said)
 So he replies, "Then how do you manage?"
