That’s not how I like to do business
I like to keep quiet as the sun
Turn out your eyes with a nauseating price and watch you
Run, run, run
No, that’s not how I like to do business
So put your pistolas away
My intent’s above the table
I’ll be Cain and you be Abel
And we’ll act out this passion play
Because I know business is booming
And business is strong
So if you’ve got some reservations
I will trap another taker
And get gone
That’s not how I like to do business
I swallow it like a bracelet charm,
A modest ring, or anything
Adorning a hand, neck or arm
Because I know business is booming
And business takes long
So if you’re hungry for a bite
But your stomach isn’t right
Better get gone
That’s not how I like to do business
I wait for competitors to give
Spooked by the risk of a catastrophic slip
It’s no way to live
I’ll bring you to the back of a ballroom
And cut out all those fancy lights
You’ll see what I’m saying
And then you’ll say goodnight
'Cause I suppose business is booming
Since I don’t really know business at all
I’m a liar and a cheat, and my wares just can’t be beat
For you cannot resist my call
For you cannot resist my call

Something signaling down deep beneath the water
Invitations to avoid future disorder
Invitations to sleep
Imitations of dreams
Limited by exiting
Fantasies of flying
Youth romanticizing
Strategies to free your wings
Voices calling from down deep beneath the water
Knows my name and the scent of the looming slaughter
Whose genetics are these
Whose decision made me
Who is there that I can blame?
For desires unchecked
My disaster reflex
Limp away in abject shame
Maybe we never should have come to dry land
Maybe we never should have come to dry land
Maybe we never should have come to dry land
If the tragedies were planned
