Have you ever lost someone when you were young
Have you ever felt the pain when it was done
Have you ever hoped to see the sun again
My old friend the sun
Have you ever dreamt of being dust and then
Returning to the clay
Have you ever smelled the liquid of life
For a moment i see your eyes

Pay, pay, pay, she says

Down the alley to the underground
She will stand there and you'll feel the sound
And she knows it, yes she knows it
What will happen to her, yes she knows it
And she asks me, where will i be when it's done
So i tell her see it come
And i'm strolling through the streets tonight
To feel the hunger and the fright
I flee the bright and golden light
'cause i can't stand this sight

Pay, pay, pay, she says

Have you ever lost a friend
Have you ever held his hand
Have you ever felt the same
Could you ever bear this pain

Pay, pay, pay, she says

Down the alley to the underground
She will stand there and you'll feel the sound
But she knows it, yes you know it
