Lyrics
Matador
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.
I'm being tailed, I'm being marked
I'm being asked if I know where you are
Joni is scared, I haven't slept
I'm playing it cool, but I know what you did
And all the time you thought I would break
(That I'm afraid)
Well, maybe I am 'cause
I'm not hiding from main streets no more
If you're coming for me, we'll see
Who is the matador
You talk about blood like it's binding us
If you're coming for mine, all bets are off
You pose as a king with a city to rule
But you were never a lion, you were always a bull
I have a deal I think you should take (I hope you take)
I'll forget it all if you go away (go away)
And stay away
I'm not lying for you or me no more
I'm not fighting the fight you do
Your settled score
I'm not hiding from anything no more
If you're coming for me, we'll see
Who is the matador
Someday I'll pay for what I'm 'bout to do
The knife is sharp and my aim is true
Someday I'll pay for what I'm about to do
The night is dark and my veins are blue
Someday we'll pay for what we have to do
You turn on me, I'll turn on you
You don't make me do what I have to do
You turn on me, I'll turn on you
Don't make me do what I have to do
You turn on me, I'll turn on you
