Pay For The Piano
The Dismemberment Plan

People my people -- the cat in the steeple --

And everyone here I need your ear so be cool for a few

I feel a funny emotion, a negative notion

A tear in the air, an unseen stare, if I'm wrong then I'm wrong

What I say?


Senors and senoras -- they cannot ignore us --

We know that they know the score, it's there at the core --always been

And we could give it up all nice, or put it on cold ice

While that could suffice I give these dreams up in hell -- ring a bell --

What I say?


Somebody's got to pay for the piano

Somebody's got to make sure we honor everyone

I know if we can forfeit all our sorrow, it may as well be us


People my people, supreme to my equal

Say not a word I know you're tired so am I, I could cry


You know you knew it would be hard to play such a bad card

Lower your guard to unseen harm 'cos you're scarred, I can see

And the people that need you say the couldn't read you

You plant 'em a seed they claim they loved all the weeds

So you flee -- what I say?


So people my people -- the cat in the steeple --

And everyone here I know your fear like a friend -- I contend --

Commandos commandettes, it wasn't a sure bet

But nothing good was and what should or could be does what it can


It's a quiet and sad choice you hear in your own voice

I know what I'd like and I can't say anymore: Je t'adore

so break it down...
