He's up late, cleaning what remains, steel tray filled with things to clean the stains
Lock it up, shut it down, nobody left in this one horse town
His reflection in the table reminds him of the cradle of his life before
He thinks back to the minute, never will forget it, his story you can't ignore
Had a nice life, lived upstate, had a dog and a house and a white picket gate
One day there was a woman at the door, in a dark suit like his daddy once wore
Open before it's too late; this collection is past it's due date, I've been cheated one too Many times
This life you owe to pay for your crimes
Please, leave me be You'll get what you want, but in good time. But if it's not enough
I relinquish all my sunny days
His life is still his own, slaves away every day, paying back his loan She took it all as interest on the call, paid collect By the diener at mausoleum hall
Now his days are spent taking names as the dead shuffle through the door
To those with souls, to you he does implore;
Please learn from me You'll get what you want but in good time
Even if it's not enough, cherish all of those sunny days
