What’s In It For You?

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Posthumous cowboys alight on a fence Redolent of vicarious recompense Ask for an answer—a gift of nonsense What's in it for you? [Verse 2] Pleistocene flyboys—a fright on the cliffs Scanning horizons for interpersonal tiffs Serve reflections for supper to moribund stiffs What's in it for you? [Chorus] What's in it for you? What's in it for me? To ask the question Is not to see What's in it for you? What's in it for me? To ask the question Is not to see [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Nefarious nowboys selling their dreams Wrapping nightmares in parboiled screams Paperback essences sold by the ream What's in it for you? [Verse 4] Hilarious showboys eating the stage Victims of a health food age Pause for the prompter's infantile rage What's in it for you? [Chorus] What's in it for you? What's in it for me? To ask the question Is not to see What's in it for you? What's in it for me? To ask the question Is not to see
