Promissory Note - Downtown Boys

I’ve come to cash a check

It’s a promissory note

I’ve come to beat out the right of you

It’s taken a long, time to really know these things

So what’s the matter, you don’t like what you see?

What’s the matter, you don’t like what you see?

I can’t believe you’re even talking to me!

I won’t light myself on fire to keep you warm

Won’t carry you up that hill

Won’t light myself on fire

And I won’t smile

And I don’t care if you cry

And I don’t care if you cry

I don’t care if you cry

I don’t care if you cry

Before you say hello

Can’t fix you;

fuck you too

Before you say hello

I don’t tread water to sip tea

And so I steal the watch

And so I steal the ring

And so I steal the watch

And so I steal the ring

What’s the matter, you don’t like what you see?

What’s the matter, you don’t like what you see?

I can’t believe you’re even talking to me!

Won’t light myself on fire to keep you warm

Won’t carry you up that hill

Won’t light myself on fire

I won’t smile

I don’t care if you cry

I don’t care if you cry

I don’t care if you cry

I don’t care if you cry
