Lyrics
Asking Price
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It came delivered on a frozen rope
Indecision antidote
The frame is narrow can't you see
Paralyze no clarity
Too busy putzing round the internet
Revel in the disconnect
Their extortion is way too clear
The extortion is way too clear
Many opportunities come rolling off your lap
I'm not gonna bait that trap again
We're unevolving
Have you heard of us
Virtual unvirtuous
A game of faro can't you see
Bastardized biology
This is a story of a man gone sad
Trapped inside a chaos path
The distortion is way too dear
The distortion is way too dear
The distortion is way too dear
The distortion is way too dear
Many opportunities come rolling off your lap
I'm not gonna bait that trap
