The Ladder
Extra Life

I remember when you couldn't cook your own dinner
Then I fed you strong, I fed you strong
Corrupt child naked at your computer
I washed your hair, showed you right from wrong

I remember when you couldn't cook your own dinner
Then I fed you strong, I fed you strong
Corrupt child naked at your computer
I washed your hair, showed you right from wrong

Now your neck bends up toward Heaven
And you dare pull your own breath
Go suck in, second-hand, a grown man's noble pleasures
I'm your one ticket to this beautiful, beautiful world

Pay up, pay up, pay up the ladder
Your every joy is rented from your new father
I made you kid, I laid you kid and I'll lay you to waste
I gave you your woman and now I want my taste

I will always chew for you and spit the truth into your dumb waiting jaws
Stammer me your loneliness and I'll recommend you for love
I will always tell them what you meant to say and put in a good word
I will always hold your nervous sperm
I will always hold everything of yours
There's a life for you, ugly at my side
There's a life for you, a life for you, a stained hand-me-down

Pay up, pay up, pay up the ladder
Your every joy is rented from your new father
I made you kid, I laid you kid and I'll lay you to waste
I gave you your woman and now I want my taste

Now your neck bends up toward Heaven
And you dare pull your own breath
Go suck in, second-hand, a grown man's noble pleasures
I'm your one ticket to this beautiful, beautiful world

Pay up, pay up, pay up the ladder
Your every joy is rented from your new father
I made you kid, I laid you kid and I'll lay you to waste
I gave you your woman and now I want my taste
I gave you your woman and now I want my taste
