cheap reward

oh

well

i feel so loose tonight i might fall to pieces

so be prepared to sweep me out the door

and i might be horizontal by the time the music ceases

so i think i'll get acquainted with the floor

oh

i was trying to get away from the things that i always do

hello

floorboards once again - how are you?

lip service - well

that's all you'll ever get from me

well

how could you believe i'll take you seriously?

with your cheap rewards

your blackmail

and your comical rage

just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage

all the sign posts on this road that point one way

don't act like you're above me

just look at your shoes

i'll turn the light out now 'cause there's nothing more to say

and it's all been lost before so there's nothing to lose

oh

but you could say that you love me very painlessly

i would've done the same for you

oh

but you said to me: lip service - well

that's all you'll ever get from me

well

how could you believe i'd take you seriously?

with your cheap rewards

your blackmail

and your comical rage

just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage

just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
