The Sting

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Danger,

Will it always hide around here?

Now it fades,

I see my old friend disappear into night

People don't change,

And i know your story so well.

I know your fate,

It's my favorite tale to tell.

You wanted to make me believe in love.

You wanted to make me believe in love.

You bring the money in,

I will be waiting,

I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my throat.

Throw the money down,

You never ran this town,

I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my throat.

Whisper that you breathe,

We all want to escape,

Now what you've got,

What you've got that's so great.

You wanted to make me believe in love.

You wanted to show me the things that you dream of.

You bring the money in,

I will be waiting,

I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my throat.

Throw the money down,

You never ran this town,

I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my throat.

With a wasp sting in my..

I will be waiting

I will be waiting

I will be waiting

You bring the money in,

I will be waiting,

I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my throat.

Throw the money down,

You never ran this town,

I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my heart

You bring the money in,

You bring the money in.
