Lyrics:Asking Price [Version (a)]:
It came delivered on a frozen rope
Indecision antidote
The frame is narrow
Can't you see?
Paralyzed, no clarity
Too busy putzing round the internet
Revel in the disconnect
Their extortion is way too dear
The extortion is way too dear
Many opportunities come rolling off your lap
I'm not gonna bait that trap again
We're unevolving
Have you heard of us?
Virtual unvirtuous
A game of faro
Can't you see?
Bastardized biology
This is the story of a man gone sad
Trapped inside a chaos pad
The distortion is way too clear
The distortion is way too clear
The distortion is way too clear
The distortion is way too clear
Many opportunities come rolling off your lap
I'm not gonna bait that trap
The Song:In 2010 or so, Beck called up Stephen Malkmus and offered his services as a producer. Malkmus and his band, The Jicks, took him up on the offer and Beck produced their album, Mirror Traffic. Beck does not perform on the album, he is merely the producer.
"Asking Price" is the sixth track from the album.
