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
