[Verse 1]
You can hand her off like chattel
You can hold her in your crew
Like a shiny piece of metal
She'll remember you

[Verse 2]
She is no riddle
You can solve in your sleep
You will not answer her
You'll answer to her
Xedalli
Xedalli

[Verse 3]
Can you love a girl in fetters?
Do you think she loves you too?
Don't you know better?
I bet her lover isn't you

[Chorus]
Carry her away, carry her with you
Carry every lie with the truth
Real soon, your knee will bend
You're only means to an end
[Verse 4]
You can walk in every room
You can claim all the love for you
Just know - she knew what you'd do
She stays way ahead of you

[Chorus]
She will let her hair down
She will put her hands upon your neck, around
And you don't you wish you could fix all of this?

[Post-Chorus]
Everyone is shy upon bills coming due
Coming due
But it will come due, come due

[Bridge]
All of you have run up
What a pretty tab left to pay
(Everything's a means to an end)
And she will, she will get hers
(She will have your head on a mantle)
Man you oughta see in her gown
(Everything's a means to an end)
The blood, the red, the hem
(She will have heads on her mantle)
[Outro]
Everyone's a means to an end
She will have heads on her mantle
Everything's a means to an end
