The Ladder - Extra life

I remember when you couldn’t cook your own dinner

Then I fed you strong, I fed you strong

Corrupt child naked at your computer

I washed your hair, showed you right from wrong

I remember when you couldn’t cook your own dinner

Then I fed you strong, I fed you strong

Corrupt child naked at your computer

I washed your hair, showed you right from wrong

Now your neck bends up toward Heaven

And you dare pull your own breath

Go suck in, second-hand, a grown man’s noble pleasures

I’m your one ticket to this beautiful, beautiful world

Pay up, pay up, pay up the ladder

Your every joy is rented from your new father

I made you kid, I laid you kid and I’ll lay you to waste

I gave you your woman and now I want my taste

I will always chew for you and spit the truth into your dumb waiting jaws

Stammer me your loneliness and I’ll recommend you for love

I will always tell them what you meant to say and put in a good word

I will always hold your nervous sperm

I will always hold everything of yours

There’s a life for you, ugly at my side

There’s a life for you, a life for you, a stained hand-me-down

Pay up, pay up, pay up the ladder

Your every joy is rented from your new father

I made you kid, I laid you kid and I’ll lay you to waste

I gave you your woman and now I want my taste

Now your neck bends up toward Heaven

And you dare pull your own breath

Go suck in, second-hand, a grown man’s noble pleasures

I’m your one ticket to this beautiful, beautiful world

Pay up, pay up, pay up the ladder

Your every joy is rented from your new father

I made you kid, I laid you kid and I’ll lay you to waste

I gave you your woman and now I want my taste

I gave you your woman and now I want my taste
