Ain't No Rest For The Wicked by Cage The Elephant

I was walking down the street
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a (1)____________ little thing (2)______________________ me
She said "I've never seen a man
Who looks so all alone
Could you use a little company?
If you can pay the (3)__________ price
Your evening will be nice
And you can go and send me on my way"
I said "You're such a sweet (4)__________ thing
Why you do (5)________ to yourself?"
She (6)____________ at me and (7)________ is what she said:
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no, (8)__________ ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
Not even fifteen (9)______________ later
I'm still walking (10)________ the street
When I saw the (11)____________ of a man creep out of sight
And (12)________ he sweeped up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight
He said "Give me all you've got
I want your money not your life
But if you try to (13)________ a move I won't think twice"
I go like "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live (14)________ kind of life?"
He said "There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't (15)________ on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this (16)__________ for free
I (17)________ I can't slow down
I can't (18)________ back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we (19)__________ our eyes for good"
...
Now a (20)____________ hours have passed
And I was sitting at my house
The day was winding down and (21)____________ to an end
So I (22)____________ on the TV
And (23)______________ it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
I saw a preacher man in cuffs
He'd taken money from the church
He (24)______________ his bank (25)______________ with righteous (26)____________ bills
But even still I can't say much
Because I know we're all the same
Oh yes we all (27)________ out to satisfy those thrills
"You know (28)__________ ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay
We got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know we can't slow down
We can't hold back
Though you know, we wish we could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we (29)__________ our eyes for good"
