ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "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
