Love & Demotion - The Paranoid Style.lrc

LRC Lyrics download
[00:12.923]Well I told you once before it began
[00:16.173]This affection will not stand
[00:19.174]I'm not the kind to put up forever
[00:22.674]With uncomplicated earthly pleasures
[00:26.425]Well I won't tolerate in perpetuity
[00:29.424]Vague notions of perfect unity
[00:33.423]Return on investment, return to sender
[00:36.423]Check in the bank book, check in the ledger
[00:39.674]So many rubicons and so many rivers to cross
[00:45.425]I want to be your lover, but I'm already your boss
[00:53.173]You go-between phases, you’re separated by oceans
[00:56.423]You know the meaning of that gaze, it's love and demotion
[01:00.924]Love and demotion
[01:04.674]Love and demotion
[01:08.615]Well I told you once before I glanced askance
[01:11.865]I don't believe in fate I don't believe in chance
[01:15.115]Check out the statistics
[01:17.115]Check out the history
[01:18.616]Don't let the mystery be, embrace the mystery
[01:21.866]I'm not about to apologize
[01:25.115]Because I take my cue from old white guys
[01:28.865]But if I was imperious, I must surely confess
[01:32.116]I still love you but you failed the test
[01:35.366]So many rubicons and so many rivers to cross
[01:42.366]I want to be your lover, but I'm already your boss
[01:48.617]You go-between phases, you’re separated by oceans
[01:52.116]You know the meaning of that gaze, it's love and demotion
[01:56.866]Love and demotion, love and demotion
[02:32.366]So many rubicons and so many rivers to defile
[02:38.366]The human equivalent of Satan on your speed dial
[02:45.366]When the whole thing goes down
[02:47.115]And no roads are open
[02:48.865]You'll remember this sound:
[02:50.365]It’s love and demotion…

Well I told you once before it began
This affection will not stand
I'm not the kind to put up forever
With uncomplicated earthly pleasures
Well I won't tolerate in perpetuity
Vague notions of perfect unity
Return on investment, return to sender
Check in the bank book, check in the ledger
So many rubicons and so many rivers to cross
I want to be your lover, but I'm already your boss
You go-between phases, you’re separated by oceans
You know the meaning of that gaze, it's love and demotion
Love and demotion
Love and demotion
Well I told you once before I glanced askance
I don't believe in fate I don't believe in chance
Check out the statistics
Check out the history
Don't let the mystery be, embrace the mystery
I'm not about to apologize
Because I take my cue from old white guys
But if I was imperious, I must surely confess
I still love you but you failed the test
So many rubicons and so many rivers to cross
I want to be your lover, but I'm already your boss
You go-between phases, you’re separated by oceans
You know the meaning of that gaze, it's love and demotion
Love and demotion, love and demotion
So many rubicons and so many rivers to defile
The human equivalent of Satan on your speed dial
When the whole thing goes down
And no roads are open
You'll remember this sound:
It’s love and demotion…
