Mercantile
Written By: Chris Walla Recorded: April 1998 - Feb 1999
Lyrics

upstairs on the kitchen floor is where you are consumed (you saw it faster than I did)
there’s a chance you been home [?] camera pictures still all right, be good now, don’t fight
the stars will be out soon (you’ll have another chance to look)
with any luck you’ll pin down constellations with hummingbird precision council meeting,
the mercantile wants to see you evicted
I can’t argue you very well, sick, sick, sick take this cash and feel good
I don’t know what you do (if it starts or if it ends with me)
I only know I’ll try not to be bitter, I brought you soup for dinner
while you’re eating I’ll slip into the sad, sad conversation
you’ve decided that some exotic tea would let you choose your reincarnation
I could play the voice of reason and yell at you to get your ass to bed
but I’m uncomfortable with kind suggestions
so I’ll sit and watch you here in your apartment with records that you thought unrestricted
mark this now it’s the last we have encourage you to fix it
I encourage you to fix it
I encourage you to fix it
I encourage you to fix it
