Lyrics On a Pedestal - Adhesive

On a Pedestal

There’s no limit to the riches I want to see
I met this man, he said he would do anything for me
I was a little nervous, but I went there anyway
I never guessed that he would smile at me and say:
HELLO, I WELCOME YOU INTO MY HUMBLE STORE
I’VE GOT LOTS OF MERCHANDISE, I’VE GOT EVERYTHING AND MORE
TODAY WE HAVE A SALE ON WELFARE, AN OFFER YOU CAN’T IGNORE
IT WILL PUT YOU ON A PEDESTAL, SEPARATE YOU FROM THE POOR
His ice-cold heart and smiling face in perfect symmetry
His gratitude increased, as I bought my destiny
His smiling mask fell off, I saw the horns upon his head
I won’t forget the moment when he laughed at me and said:
HELLO, I WELCOME YOU…
I guess you’ll say stupidity isn’t easily measured
But my degradation was unbearable
HELLO, I WELCOME YOU…
