about

Performed at our very first show, this song is the tale of a motorized vehicle. Much like an awkward 1960s sitcom.

Written in August 2011, backing tracks recorded April 2013, vocals recorded November 2013.

lyrics

Zero down 'til next year
Practically free
Just sign the dotted line here
And put the burden on me
That's how it was with the dealer
That's how it is at home
Could I make it any clearer?
No.

This gift you saved for your firstborn
You've kept it to yourself
I know I shouldn't demand more
I need a little help
It's not the glamour you're seeking
Just hear me out for a bit
If I'm not allowed to be thinking
I'll quit.

Let's make a deal
Let's make a deal
Let's make a deal
Let's make a deal

What makes it critical to have this?
Imperative to none
You fear it could become my casket
If the engine runs
The only thing that'll kill me
Is my state of mind
It's expensive to keep my sanity?
Fine.

Let's make a deal
Let's make a deal
Let's make a deal
Let's make a deal

Next move now impending
This trophy or my health
What message are you sending
Well?
