I saw how you did
Something so hellish
In the golden morning light
And I saw you relish
It with a smile so bright
Your eyes holding the joy
Of a bug-killing little boy

Your terrible little Secret
Pay me and I will keep it
Bring me incense and gold and mirth
Pay me whatever you think it's worth

Pay me five ounces of gold
For your secret to never be told
Pay me the gold and no one will know
Pay me some more and I'll let you go

Or pay me in silver, double the amount
Buy my silence, make it count
Pay me in diamonds, pay me in jewellery
And I'll promise to forget your foolery

Pay me my price and you won't have to fear
That anyone in town will ever hear
The terrible thing you did
Pay me to forget about it

I don't care that it's not right
Treasures make me lose all sight
In that violence you took delight
Pay me and I will forget what I saw
Pay me to save yourself from the law

Or pay me not, your secret I'll shout
Don't forget that I hold sway
And that I can without a doubt
make it your turn to pay
