Break Even

For any sort of pain, there's a market and a remedy Stocks bonds up and down the chain of custody Keeper of the Flagstaff, a sniper at the ready Prone to snap hands clapping cracking codes and ribs Fire up and down the rapids shoot the medicine He'll quit and join the race, the rank and file for normality If you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere Just what you'd be making exactly is anyone's guess Soon it's the pat on the back The ravings, the panic attacks For it's the common mistake The fun and the fin in the lake Soon it's the cast of a die The shrewdly slanted device Thank the groom for a room so dank Phantom-powered light bulbs flicker in a fish tank Who's that waiting on the other side of the receiving end? Cold-blooded doner with ghastly manners I was leader of the ageing pack when I found her Sketch out etching replicate shipped out built-in operator Soon it's the cast of a die The shrewdly slanted device For it's the bid in the auction Break even or break into heaven A figurehead of state, a true visionary Joins the rank and file for dependency Investigating what lays back yonder What might come out of it, I dare not wonder Soon it's the pat on the back The ravings, the panic attacks For it's the common mistake The fun and the fin in the lake Soon it's the cast of a die The shrewdly slanted device For it's the bid in the auction Break even or break into heaven Break even or break into heaven Break even or break into heaven
