she and I were shoulder pad to shoulder pad
playing truth or dare
got the briefcase filled, and then
hunted me and stoked camp fire
then we finished the team building exercise
i crept out to find real guns
the survivalist director, he had one
stocks and bonds
they cost me a lot
company retreat, company retreat
sharing heartache to heartache
then back to the office
company retreat, company retreat
tights are torn, heels are broken
then back to the market
she and i pretended that we'd never met
took one for the team
it was a lipstick montage dream
fiscal years went by unchecked
then i held several secret board meetings
and we voted: no confidence
at least they did, when i sent cigars and scotch
then i played golf
gave a brown envelope
company retreat, company retreat
sharing heartache to heartache
then back to the office
company retreat, company retreat
tights are torn, heels are broken
then back to the market
company retreat, company retreat
i don't want to go
company retreat, company retreat
mandatory blow
we marched through the undergrowth
her territory underfoot
i'd worn a wire, i'd taken notes.
her hands were soft, and mine got rough, but
she was there before we were
with coffee boys and shoeshiners
on higher ground: the sandwich girl
the cleaning force: they outflank all of us.
she's a socialist.
when it buys her things.
she's a man of the people,
when she needs a hired gun.
don't protect her.
she's just as bad as me.
you're not listening.
come and work for me
