Dripping down, dripping down, dripping down
Little candlesticks
I need to read your lips
Come on and give me bliss
Dripping down, dripping down, dripping down
Little candlesticks
You have me in the grips
Of your mathematics
Dripping down, dripping down, dripping down
Little candlesticks
I've fallen for your tricks
Strategy amiss
Dripping down, dripping down, dripping down
Upside alpha fabulous
But this girl ain't turning tricks
Has it really come to this?
Yes I was born with the stomach for this
Clairvoyance
And an appetite for risk
Little candlesticks
I ain't got no more wits
This whole thing was remiss
I forgot
How it all saved up
I forgot
How this whole thing got started
Dripping down, dripping down, dripping down
Little candlesticks
I need to read your lips
Come on and give me bliss
Little candlesticks
You have me in the grips
Of your mathematics
Upside alpha fabulous
But this girl ain't turning tricks
Has it really come to this?
(Has it really come to this?)
Dripping down, dripping down, dripping down
Dripping down, dripping down, dripping down
Dripping down, dripping down, dripping down
Dripping down, dripping down, dripping down

Strings and strings and strings
I have some competency in these things
It's in my dreams
It's in the air I breathe
Six hundred thousand minutes behind me
Tease out what we mean
By token frequency
Sometimes a negative lookbehind
Is all you need
Strings and strings and strings
Been fascinated by these things
And the particular way that
They gonna captivate ya
Borders on elating
Take it back to pay day
Such a shame, selectively
My damn arm, it won't pronate
I know it's footwork that's to blame
Come on, let's add more lead tape!
Strings and strings and strings
They say that we play to win it
But these days
All I can taste
Is the grease and sweat that's in it
Call me lightweight, but
I've always been a 9-gauge
Swapped it out to Hybrid Slinky
Fattened up that bottom E

(Intro...?)
It's worthwhile to remember
That I am a platinum member
At the discount magic bullet bodega
What do ya make of that?
On every shelf that you can see
There's a healthy smattering of proprietary I.P.
Baubles and brains, yeah
Salve for your pains, yeah
It's worthwhile just to sell ya
How we can make this elephant jump
(Damn right!)
We have myriad mammals on display
That dance the way you like
Something they will never teach
Is how to stretch a contract 'til it's
Practically in breach
Well I been counting on me
Well I been counting on
(That you'd want it)
Go!
Before I act my age
And check my pressure gauge
Have I got water on the brain
Or is this whole storefront one gigantic stage?
Well I been counting on me
I been counting on me
You sold me on that shiny thing and now that I have got to have it
That's when you turn the key and kick me into automatic
That's when you turn the key and kick me into automatic
That's when you turn the key and kick me into automatic
That's when you turn the key and kick me into
(What you wanted)
(Outro...?)
