lyrics

Hurdle Rate

Two people. Totally mismatched.
i.e. one girl beautiful
Settling for OK but less than beautiful guy
Two average dull people on a blind date.

Breathe in, sit in, crawl in, live in
The minimum, the minimum

Observation: looking deep into each other
To find the possible thread.
Or if I try hard enough, I’ll see you
Or find a way to love you.

If I stay up late to watch the hurdle rate
When it comes crashing down you won’t forget the sound
The sound of risk gone wrong when numbers tag along
And when the light goes on we’ll all be dead and gone
Dead and gone and gone

Hurdle downhill business of will
(about face on the currency doubt)
Leave the lights on all dead all gone
(money road money, money road)
Empty/full cup, places to blow up
(about face on the currency doubt)

The minimum, the minimum
So in other words, I want this so bad
That if you’ll sit in front of me long enough
I’ll create it.

Millions available for financing
Popular threads and unlimited fees
Corporate wealth and community
Managing health by emergency fees
Flavor of the monetization of everything
Flavor of the monetization of everything

After the breather, they get to know each other.
They get to play.

Places to blow up, places to blow up
Places to blow up, places to blow up

Silent partner, silent partner
(about face on the currency doubt)
Strength in numbers, hurdle downhill
(money road money, money road)
Business of will, leave the lights on
(about face on the currency doubt)
Leave the lights on all dead all gone
(money road money, money road)
Empty/full cup, places to blow up
(about face on the currency doubt)
