LyricMeaning

Payday
Jordan Zevon

I will be your paper pioneer

If you'd be my willing volunteer

At least you've got the face to save

Cross your fingers 'til it's payday

If I try my best to sound sincere

Will you marry me within the year?

If you love and honor I'll obey


To pave the way until it's payday

On our own

We've got enough to go on

But together we'll have to work to live on

Hold the landlord off at bay

Stiff the piper 'til it's payday


Armed with our wax winged Achilles heels

Tales of bravely useless high ideals

As long as we keep pride at bay


Any day will soon be payday

On our own

We've got enough to go on

But together we'll have to work to live on

Hold the landlord off at bay

Stiff the piper 'til it's payday


We know

We haven't got too far to go

So we must try

Got to try to keep our pride in tow

Hold the landlord off at bay

Stiff the piper 'til it's payday

I will be your paper pioneer

If you'd only stay 'til payday
