The Deal Songtext
von Mitski

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, watchin′ me
So, I stopped and let it watch 'til I found that it said

"Now I′m taken, the night has me
You won't hear me singin′
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
