Elegant Transaction Songtext
von Loose Fur

Be careful when you take a call for someone else
That is probably to begin
And get embroiled in someone else′s life
You don't know where that phone′s been

And don't strike a conversation with a cigarette

Like an old flame
Burned up
And out of breath


A slip of the tongue is all it takes
It seems you need a helping hand
To find yourself in someone else's place
Back in the saddle again

And don′t pretend you don′t know where it's headed for

A connection all the same

Exchange small talk about the good old days
It seems they′ve done better than you
Your stories match despite the different names
I guess that all you heard was true

And don't go along unless you′ve lost your way

A connection all the same
Like you're in love′s cold sleigh
