OhwellI 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
OhI was trying to get away from the things that I always do
Hellofloorboards once again--how are you?
Lip Service--wellthat s all you ll ever get from me
Wellhow could you believe I ll take you seriously?
With your cheap rewardsyour blackmailand 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 mejust 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
Ohbut you could say that you love me very painlessly
I would ve done the same for youohbut you said to me:
Lip service--wellthat s all you ll ever get from me
Wellhow could you believe I d take you seriously?
With your cheap rewardsyour blackmailand 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
