The Salesman
|
(What¢¥s In A Name)
|
By Frank Peter Hermsen
|
|
Memories
|
|
Offered for sale
|
|
From beyond the pale
|
|
Of mysteries
|
|
Leeches
|
|
Sucking your soul
|
|
Tearing your whole
|
|
Life into pieces
|
|
Mr. Salesman
|
|
I¢¥ll pay anything
|
|
To turn years
|
|
Into youth
|
|
And for a taste
|
|
Of paradise
|
|
I¢¥m prepared
|
|
To deny the truth
|
|
What¢¥s in a name
|
|
You¢¥ve got just yourself to blame
|
|
The more you run away
|
|
The more my poisoned thorn will stay
|
|
A voice in the middle of the night
|
|
"Now you¢¥ve gotta pay the price
|
|
For temptation you couldn¢¥t resist
|
|
I¢¥m the muse and you are kissed"
|
|
"Step right up, have a look"
|
|
You will pay for what you took
|
|
Step right up and have a look
|
|
Some day you¢¥ll pay for what you took
|
|
Let the sirenes sing
|
|
The thorn turns into a sting
|
|
And for the devil's sake
|
|
The sting turns into a stake
|
|
He is on the road again
|
|
Pay the salesman without name
|
