There\u2019s a demon inside me, always on the prowl<\/p>\n

And on The night before payday you can hear him start to howl<\/div>\n
He shares a cell inside my chest with my \u00a0heart<\/div>\n
And when he wants to escape, that\u2019s when the beating starts.<\/div>\n
The two of them beat in rhythm against my rib cage<\/div>\n
And flutter and shake with ever growing rage<\/div>\n
When they finally get the strength to break free<\/div>\n
That\u2019s when everybody needs to look out for me<\/div>\n
I\u2019ll swing from the rafters chasing down a good time<\/div>\n
Even the sun coming up won\u2019t mark my bedtime<\/div>\n
When I finally do run my demon out of steam<\/div>\n
And he limps back to his cell to dream<\/div>\n
I wear the scars of a good time with pride<\/div>\n
And take the hangover that comes in stride<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
