Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Nov. 26, 2018]

How much do you want
How much do you want it
How much are you willing to spend
Superseded model bargain number special profit margin
How much were you willing to lend

The man at the desk
Who takes everything he can find
It's more a transaction than a bribe

How much did you get
How much do you get it
How long are we going to wait
Something in this information, (simply sign a bottle bottom) something find a new formation
How much are you paying off late

The girl at the bar
Who drinks anything she can find
Avoids this transaction in her mind

The voice in your ear
Who says anything it can find
Enter that transaction blind

How much do you want
How much do you want it
How much are you willing to spend
Superseded model number, bargain special profit margin
How much are you willing to lend

The man at the desk
Who takes everything he can find
More a transaction than a bribe

The girl at the bar
Who drinks anything she can find
Avoids this transaction in her mind

The voice in your ear
That says anything it can find
Enter this transaction blind

I'm outside your house
I see everything you can't find
More a transaction than a sign
