Cash Cab

As up above then so below.
Who pays?

Rat king of the ward
Fell slack on the course
Then silvered away
What does he retain?

He can't remember a thing,
Fleeing the chalk of his mess.
All of the smart ones repress.

They get amnesia, and now I wanna forget
I loved someone who left me for dead.
What a night to forget.
Only an empty head says,
"I wanna be with somebody."

It went below and as I foretold,
You'll pay.

How wisely he roars,
The chariot lord.
Dragged every which way,
Tell me, what do you retain?

You can't remember a thing,
Torn between too many heads.
All of the bad ones repress.

They get amnesia, and now I wanna forget
I loved someone who left me for dead.
I want amnesia just to please you again.
Here goes another empty threat:

I wanna be with somebody just like me,
Someone who laughs at a crashed car rental
Someone who hurts in an accident.
Someone as scared of abandonment.

And all I'll ever do is untie all your knots, dissolve all your thoughts.
All I'll ever do is untie all your knots, dissolve all your thoughts.
I wanna be with somebody just like me, somebody just like me
I wanna be with somebody just like me, somebody just like me

I'll do all this when you pay me
