Mitski - The Deal Lyrics

There's a deal you can make on a midnight walk alone
Look around, listen close, hear it fall from above
It will ask what you'd give and what you'd take for it in return
I once went on such a walk and I found that I'd said

I want someone to take this soul
I can't bear to keep it, I'd give it just to give
And all I will take are the consequences
Will somebody take this soul?

Then, of course, nothing replied
Nothing speaks to you in the night
And I walked my way home, there was no one in sight
Save a bird perched upon a streetlight, watching me
So, I stopped and let it watch till I found that it said

Now I'm taken, the night has me
You won't hear me singing, you're a cage without me
Your pain is eased, but you'll never be free
For now, I'm taken, the night has me

There's a deal that I made
There's a deal that I made
There's a deal that I made
There's a deal
